Presentation included "before and after" examples of Epson, HP, and Kodak dye-based inkjet photographic prints stored in the dark for approximately six months at 21°C and 50%-75% RH. Some ink/media combinations exhibited substantial changes in color balance and density as well as "bronzing" in high-density areas while other media combinations, even when printed with the same inks, showed no perceptible changes when stored under these same conditions.
