Fading Fading refers to the gradual loss or alteration of colors, tones, or image detail in a printed or displayed image over time due to exposure to light, heat, humidity, pollutants, or other environmental factors. Fading can occur in both analog and digital prints, affecting the visual quality and longevity of the printed image.
Factors such as ink type, paper quality, display conditions, and protective coatings can influence the rate and severity of fading. To minimize fading in Giclée printing, archival-quality materials, pigment-based inks, UV-resistant coatings, and proper display techniques are often used to ensure long-lasting print durability and color stability. |
