But, back to what PC Eye was referring to, the best way to preserve images is to have them printed on high-quality, photo-quality paper while using the genuine cartridges for your printer. Furthermore, after that point, try to keep them away from sunlight, temperature changes and severe humidity as much as possible, any one of these things can adversely affect the life of the photo. Theorectically, when using true photo paper and ink, you should get about 75 years of life in a frame, and 150 years in a photo album...
