Hi, may I ask if the Stonehenge Multi Pad colored papers are lightfast? Thank you!

Hi Angela,

All Stonehenge Colors are colored with pigment instead of dye or ink. For centuries pigment has been used in the paper coloring process and is less susceptible to fading than other coloring methods.

Although Stonehenge Colors meet all lightfast criteria it is important to point out that exposure to direct natural sunlight or UV light for extended periods of time will eventually lead to fading or changing of color. This is why every quality piece of art is framed with UV protective glass or plexi to filter out harmful UV rays.

If Stonehenge Black paper was on display in front of a window that received direct sunlight, but the window glass was coated with UV protective film, would the black paper fade? Thank you.
