So far, they are just in a photo album. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-preserving-your-ultrasound-printouts#post-645794 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 19:51:22 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 645794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We scanned ours in but that was so we could share them online and through e-mails. I didn't know they faded! Good thing we saved them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-preserving-your-ultrasound-printouts#post-645763 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 19:33:24 +0000 sunny 645763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they fade because they are on heat sensitive "fax" paper. I have receipts on the same type of paper and after awhile they will fade to nothing or if exposed to sunlight, they will go all dark.</p> <p>I think the best way to preserve is to probably scan them and then put the originals in a dark drawer maybe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-preserving-your-ultrasound-printouts#post-645749 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 19:23:22 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 645749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i scanned mine so i could save to my computer and post it on facebook. i put the actual photos in an album. i didn't know they fade though, i am more glad i scanned them now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-preserving-your-ultrasound-printouts#post-645740 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 19:14:59 +0000 swedishfish 645740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm I guess I should think about that. Scanning them seems like a good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-preserving-your-ultrasound-printouts#post-645734 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 19:12:37 +0000 Alivoo01 645734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read in one of the baby books that ultrasound pictures fade over time. Oh no!!! I want to preserve mine and make sure it's around for years to come. What have you done to preserve your ultrasound pictures? Scan them to keep a digital copy? Laminate the pictures?</p> <p>Have your ultrasound pictures start to fade?? </p> <p>Also, if you have a strip of photos, did you cut them up to individual pictures or leave the whole thing in tact? </p>
