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.

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
