I’ve been going through my archive of Chromira Prints stored back in 2001 and I found 2 where the whites and light grays have shifted warm to light tan (snow scene), and the color differentiation is now muted, overall color again shifting warm.


Since these were framed by a preservation method (3rd party gallery) and have been stored the entire time without any light source hitting the print for 20+ years, and all other Chromira and Durst Lambdas from the same period look great, I am wondering what might have caused this degradation? They will both have to be discarded.

I contacted the original printer for their input but have not received a response. My impression was stored prints would maintain their original quality for 100? Years?
