The present invention relates to improved substrates for use with colorants, and especially with a family of colorants and colorant stabilizers. The colorant stabilizers, according to the present invention, are capable of stabilizing a colorant when it is exposed to electromagnetic radiation. The colorant stabilizers enable the production of an ink set wherein each ink of the ink set, regardless of color, possesses substantially similar light fastness properties. The present invention further relates to improved substrates for use with colorants, and especially with the colorants and colorant stabilizers of the present invention. The improved substrates enable the production of a printed substrate having superior print quality compared to conventional substrates. |
