Your Print

Prints

All prints are printed on Lustre archival paper guaranteed to last 100+ years without any fading.

Mounting

Should you choose, prints will be mounted on foam core. A rigid, easy to cut economical mounting board.  Foam core is ideal for all archival mounting projects. Conveniently lightweight yet sturdy enough to resist minor denting. Designed to accommodate clean, crisp cuts and edges.

Mattes and Frames

Should you choose, all prints will be mounted on the above foam core and then matted with a white acid free matte that will be 4” larger than the actual print. This will then be inserted in to a black metal frame and plexi-glass will replace regular glass.

Caring for Your Prints

Proper care of your color prints will keep them looking great, and will help them to last for many generations.

Displaying Framed Archival Prints

Light fades all pigments and dyes, regardless of whether they color your house, car, couch, carpeting, or fine art prints. Normal tungsten lamps cause the least amount of damage and sunlight causes the most. Direct sunlight is so powerful that over time it disintegrates cloth, paper, and plastic, and fades any coloring agent. The only hard and fast rule about print display is that no valuable piece of art should ever be displayed where it is exposed to the direct rays of the sun.

Cleaning Framed Archival Prints

Clean your framed print carefully, using a soft, lint-free, cloth. The cloth can be dampened with water, or if necessary, a glass cleaner. Do not spray the cleaner on the glass directly. It can run down between the frame and glass, and then soak into the mat board. Ammonia and other destructive gasses are then trapped under the glass with the print. Over time, these can attack and discolor the print.
