One can find acid free paper easily now. I happen to use a paper called "Great White," matte, coated on both sides, made by Union Camp. It's the effect of light on the dye image that creates the problem. For the moment, my best solution is to display the photo in artificial light, away from any daylight, direct or indirect, or keep the photos in a book, where they can be examined periodically but kept in the dark most of the time. I am toying with the idea of spraying the surface of the print with a plastic coating, though I believe it is the dye itself, when exposed to light, and not the presence of oxygen which determines fading.
