Vivera inks resist fading

With the newest HP printers, inks, and photo papers, you can create brilliant, photo-quality prints that resist fading for up to 115 years, depending upon the HP ink and paper used.* That's more than twice as long as most traditionally processed photos.


*Up to 108 years, based on Wilhelm-Research.com light-fade testing under glass using the HP 97 Tri-color and the HP 99 Photo Inkjet Print Cartridges on HP Premium Plus Photo Papers. For more information on additional permanence testing factors, visit http://hp.com/go/premiumplusphoto.

HP inks and papers: dynamic duo

HP inks and papers: dynamic duo


Get smooth and realistic images by using paper and ink that work together flawlessly:


  • HP paper and ink cartridges achieve optimum reliability and performance when used together because they are designed together.
  • HP inks are a perfect match for the absorption properties of HP photo paper, so you’ll get the kind of high-quality prints that third-party supplies just can’t deliver.

Fade-resitance: put to the test

Put to the test

Your photos will last for years — we've conducted the research and testing to ensure it.


  • We’ve invested in two state-of-the-art labs where our scientists conduct thousands of hours of fade-resistance testing.
  • HP's chemists co-developed an exclusive shield that protects your ink dyes from breaking down due to UV light and pollutants.
  • We also submit our products to Wilhelm Imaging Research, the industry standard for fade-resistance testing.

HP Premium Plus and Premium photo papers have six special layers to make photos appear crisp and last for years.

  • Each layer has a special job—from controlling ink absorption to building a moisture barrier to creating a smooth, glossy photo surface.
