Research and Standards
Much research into image permanence has been carried out by Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc.
Some film companies and printer manufacturers are researching ways to increase the lifetime of their prints. While ISO or the International Organization for Standardization has developed standards for the testing of image permanence, those standards have yet to be extended to digital print output, though the organization has signalled its intent to provide such standards.

Famous quotes containing the words research and/or standards:
“If politics is the art of the possible, research is surely the art of the soluble. Both are immensely practical-minded affairs.”
—Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)
“Today so much rebellion is aimless and demoralizing precisely because children have no values to challenge. Teenage rebellion is a testing process in which young people try out various values in order to make them their own. But during those years of trial, error, embarrassment, a child needs family standards to fall back on, reliable habits of thought and feeling that provide security and protection.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
