| HP invests heavily in the research and technology that ensure photos last for generations. HP researchers carefully consider both permanence and durability when they develop new photo printing supplies and expand existing technologies. Permanence refers to how well photos last over time—whether they fade when exposed to sunlight, heat, humidity or airborne pollutants. Durability refers to how well photos resist accidents—such as from spilled water, smudging and fingernail scratches. All HP inks and papers must meet rigorous tests developed by HP and by relevant standardization organizations or independent test labs. |

| HP uses established, independent test labs such as Wilhelm Imaging Research to test its ink and photo paper products. HP directly participates with industry standardization bodies, such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which develop procedures that can be used to test and compare products. When third-party testing isn’t possible, or the technology is so advanced that there isn’t an industry standard, HP develops its own set of tests based on HP’s extensive experience in photo printing technology and knowledge of how HP customers use photo prints. |

* Light fade under glass simulation based on average results of HP internal tests. Less than one year is the average of all North America refill ink brands printed on refill brands' recommended, or leading 3rd-party photo paper tested in 2006 by Wilhelm Imaging Research display permanence testing (light fade under glass) of leading remanufactured cartridges and/or ink refills for six-ink printing with HP 57- and HP 58- compatible inkjet print cartridges.
