Main Features
1. 60+ Years Lifespan
Here's how the major brands of photographic paper last. This chart depicts the amount of time under normal household
display required to produce 30% fading of the least stable
colour dye.

Fading also occurs under dark storage conditions, such as photo albums, and again, Fuji Crystal Archive Paper lasts many times longer than the second leading brand. Fuji paper is not predicted to crack, discolour, or yellow for over 100 years when properly stored.
2.
Outstanding color stability
Thanks to advanced dye technology, Fujicolor Crystal
Archive Paper demonstrates exceptional resistance
both to color fading and staining, whether stored
under illumination or in darkness.
3. Pure whites, clean highlights
The markedly improved white base used in Fujicolor
Crystal Archive Paper delivers superb white chromaticity.
Pure whites and bright, clean highlights create a
dramatic sense of clarity and dimensionality.
4. Brilliant color reproduction
Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper utilizes Fujifilm's
proprietary Advanced V-Coupler technology to offer
outstanding reproduction of the entire color spectrum.
Especially notable are the new papers' profound reds,
clear yellows, and beautiful skin tones.
5. Excellent reciprocity characteristics
Due to its wide exposure latitude, Fujicolor Crystal
Archive Paper boasts highly uniform sensitivity and
gradation, making them suitable for a wide range of
applications.
Technology
Advanced V-Coupler (AVC) technology
The color dyes used in Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper
employs specially developed coupler molecules structurally
designed for maximum dye stability. Combined with
Fujifilm's own color image stabilizing technology,
the result is print longevity that sets a new standard
for RA-4 compatible materials.
Advanced High-Performance Base (AHPB) technology
Fujifilm's High-Performance Base technology utilizes
high-density, fine, white grains of titanium oxide
to minimize halation caused by irregular light reflections
on the inner layers of the paper. Fujicolor Crystal
Archive Paper further improves on this technology
with the addition of a new optical brightener for
strikingly improved whiteness.
Highlight Tone Control (HTC) technology
Another new composite technology, HTC combines Fujifilm's
latest base- reflection control techniques with Advanced
Dual-Mode Photoelectron Controlling Crystal (AD-PCC)
technology. AD-PCC provides two benefits: more efficient
accumulation of photoelectrons on the silver halide
crystal surfaces, and precise tailoring of photographic
characteristics in both low- and high-density areas.
The overall result: highlights of unparalleled clarity.
