I have been doing sublimation only for two months, but I can tell you that I transferred an image that was printed over a month ago with no issues. Dye Trans paper and Sawgrass inks from Ricoh 7100 printer.

It really depends on the environment it is kept in. If you seal it in a ziplock bag and keep it in a dark climate controled area, you could probably keep it for years. If it gets hot, and humid, then it can deteriorate rather quickly with the dyes migrating in the paper. You can see how it blurs on the paper.

I too agree with the enviorment it is stored in. I live in Hawaii and i have printed "extras" for future use left them out for a couple of weeks pressed them and they are duller then the new ones that I printed. I now store them in zip lock bags with silica packets to help absorb moisture if any. I have pressed them a month later there still is a difference but not as bad. The colors don't POP like freshly printed ones.
