It has a slight pebbly texture, high brightness, rich shadows, and a large color gamut. The color balance is neutral to slightly cool. Among the papers that we offer, it is best able to reproduce the tones that you see on your computer monitor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis paper contains chemicals known as optical brightening agents (OBAs) which help to increase the paper's brightness, especially under dim light. Over a long enough period of time, these chemicals eventually \"burn up\" and lead to yellowing or color fading as the paper reverts to its warmer base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gold standard for paper longevity testing, Wilhelm Research, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.wilhelm-research.com\/epson\/WIR_Epson_SureColor_P7570_and_P9570_Printers_2023_01_25.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003edetermined here\u003c\/a\u003e that Epson’s Premium Luster paper will last 135 years before noticeable color shifts if displayed under regular glass, and more than 250 years if displayed under UV glass (and over 400 years if the photo is black and white, even under regular glass).
