I may be teaching you about how to suck eggs, which is not my intention, but after you have printed off a photo, place the print in a dark spot - like the drawer of your desk - so that the ink dries in a dark place. Then either put the photo into an album to protect it from the elements, or, if to be displayed, put in into a frame behind GLASS - this will make the print last a lot longer without fading.
Furthermore, if you are serious about getting the max "archival" quality from your prints, always use pigmented inks and not the inks using vegetable dyes - the most commonest of common inks available for inkjet printers. You won't find inks which use pigments off the shelf in your local department store - you'll have to go looking for them elsewhere.

The colours you see are very much subjective.Looks as though Scribus does it. Bit of a long way around, but at least it's
drag and hope. Still playing with a picture frame and screen printer
profiles. . . Thanks to Patrick for pointing me in the correct direction with
icc profiles.
