What date range would you categorize a picture that was printed on “Konica Long Life 100” paper?
We have an older photograph printed on “Konica Long Life 100” paper, and we would like to determine the approximate time frame in which it was taken, as it does not have a date indicated on it. Could anyone help us understand the date range during which this type of paper was commonly used? Thank you!

Scotts answer tops; without the packaging you have a quarter century margin to work with. If it was best quality printed, and stored well, it may exhibit next to no fading even if it was mid 80’s and I doubt you can tell any colour shifts either.
There may be a forensic way to tell the age (tests on traces of fixative or bleach wash) but we’re talking FBI lab here, VERY costly unless you know someone in the trade. Why it matters, pray?

It’s going to be a tough guess.
Konica starting making Long Life 100 (sometimes known as Century Paper) in 1984 and continued to make versions of it for 25 years.
