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.
