Will the Pages and Colours Fade or Get Damaged Over Time?

Good photobooks are built to last, using archival-quality inks and sturdy paper specifically designed to resist fading, so we're talking decades here, not the couple of years your home printer photos might survive taped to the fridge.

The binding matters too. Lay-flat pages and solid hardcovers protect against the creasing and cracking that cheap albums or loose prints usually suffer from after being handled a hundred times over the years.

That said, it's not completely invincible, keep it out of direct sunlight, away from radiators, and somewhere that isn't damp, and you're basically set. Think "treat it like a nice book," not "leave it on the dashboard in July."

Compared to standard home-printed photos, which can noticeably fade within just a few years, a well-made photobook — unlike an ordinary photo album — is genuinely built for the long haul, the kind of thing that gets handed down instead of thrown out. Pixelgram uses archival-quality inks, sturdy paper, and lay-flat binding for exactly this reason, so your photobook is built to be handed down, not just handled a few times and forgotten.
