Or 2 days, if exposed to window light. I recently tried some Gallerie surfaces with my Epson 880 (dye) printer. I loved the look, but by chance left some prints face-up on my piano in a fairly dim room, lit only by shaded indirect window light. A couple of days later there was obvious fading and color shift. It was easy to see because the prints were b/w and had developed a pronounced reddish color cast. Pigment prints (C80) were fine, and dye prints left _covered_ were also fine (and still look great months later).
