I printed several digital photos on Kodak premium glossy photo paper and put them up in my office. However, the fluorescent lighting caused them to fade badly. Is there a spray or other technique I could use to keep pictures from fading? Thanks.

Hi

Fading is an ever present problem with inkjet prints.

here are some ways to delay the fading.

1. Always mount the prints behind glass. Never just open.
Never just in the open air.

2. Keep prints out of direct sunlight. ( your problem
is fluorescent lights, so this doesn't apply here.)

3. Use Archival paper and archival inks.
These will last more than 50 years without fading
we are told.

Depending on your brand of printer, check out what that
company has to offer in Archival products.
Also archival inks are not available for all models of
printer. Check this too.
