Title: Fuji Matte Maxima C-type prints
Post by: FrankG on March 28, 2022, 04:28:33 pm

Does anyone have any info or links on longevity / archival rating for these prints? The Fuji site is not clear except to say it’s the best c-type paper.
Of course that is not an independent test and could be marketing hype.

Fuji type C (AKA RA-4 wet prints) have a estimated display life of around 40 years (varies with display conditions of course).

The local lab that uses the Matte Maxima says it's the longest lasting c-type paper ever. This page from Fuji says so too. But without being specific.
