Features and Benefits
| Feature | Performance | Additional Comments |
| Gas fastness | Excellent with EPSON Archival Ink and UltraChrome Ink, poor with dye-based ink. | With regard to dye-based images, lamination greatly increases gas-fastness. |
| Dark Storage | Good | Prints stored in photo albums in protective sleeves will remain stable. |
| Resistance to water | Good | Bleeding does not occur with incidental water contact. However, this paper is not recommended for use in wet conditions. |
| Ink drying time | Immediate (less than 30 seconds) | Ink is dry to the touch after printing. However, it takes 24 hours before it cures and becomes durable. |
| Lamination feasibility | Hot lamination or cold lamination | Top surface texture may cause uneven adhesion with the film. |
