Print permanence

Print permanence is how long a picture can last on paper or other materials. Think of it like how long a drawing with crayons can last on paper.

Some materials can last a very long time, like rocks or metal. Other things, like food or plants, don't last very long at all.

When you print a picture, you want it to last a long time so you can enjoy looking at it for years to come. Some types of ink or printing methods can make the picture fade or deteriorate over time, while others can make it last a really long time without losing any details or quality.

So, print permanence is how long a printed picture can last without fading or losing its quality over time.
