What is the life expectancy of a digital color print made from a digital file?
The same variables apply as they do with wet prints, except for the photographic inks and dyes used in the digital printing process. The digital printing process has not been around long enough for sampled testing, but these inks have been subjected to scientific aging simulation and the results far surpass the data collected on wet prints. Most of the digital inks have been tested to a 75-100 year life span.
