Interviews > ChromaLife100
All things change in time—people, color, you name it. It's only natural. That's why we used to just shrug and accept it as fate when those brilliant colors in the photos we had printed out began to fade. But then ChromaLife100 came along, and the reality changed. Pin a ChromaLife100 print to an indoor wall as it is, and it will retain its colors for ten years. Put it in a glass-coverd photo frame, and it will keep for thirty years, and in an album, a whole century!
So, what makes ChromaLife100 so different from previous print systems? And how was it developed? I got three of the key engineers who gave birth to ChromaLife100 to tell me all about it.
