Back in the days of regular old film cameras, people didn’t have the luxury of saving all their pictures on memory cards and backing them up on a computer. In those days, you had to get the roll of film developed, have the photos printed, and tuck them away safely into photo albums to ensure that the memories captured in each photo could be enjoyed for years to come.Unfortunately, printed photos don’t last forever because the quality of the photo paper and the ink they...
