About
Archival (Giclee) Art Prints
These
prints are ready-to-frame pieces of art. Each one captures
the color and brushstrokes of the original oil painting and
are printed on hefty, lightly textured paper.
I have chosen archival-grade materials which which will not
fade when properly framed, so that you can enjoy the art
for years to come.
Art Print Ingredients:
* Pigment-based inks
* Hahnemuhle 100% cotton rag paper - acid free.
* Mat board - acid-free . Sized to fit a standard 11"x14"
frame
Estimated Life of Print
Industry data for
printer, inks, and paper suggests the print will last:
* unframed 30 years
* framed 60 years
* framed under UV glass 125 years.
(I
cannot guarantee the longevity of your print. My initial
6-month fade test placed in a sunny window has shown no
fading.)
Tips for Framing & Hanging Your Archival Art Print
*
Mount print under UV
glass or acrylic to help protect it from humidity, smoke,
and other atmospheric contaminants.
* Avoid placing
your print in direct sunlight
