Standardized testing and reporting of image permanence and durability performance using ISO standardized methods allows photo fulfillment companies to assess and promote product performance in a way that is easily comparable by both professional fulfillment laboratories and consumers. A previous paper reviewed standards being developed to test the performance of printed pages. This paper will focus on the development of a test method standard for photo book durability that will provide a common testing platform for photo book producers to help create high quality products in this important growth category.
