Product Details & Legal Information
Paper & Materials
We use Somerset Velvet Fine Art Paper, a 100% cotton, acid-free, archival-quality paper with a soft, textured surface. This museum-grade paper is engineered to resist fading and deterioration, making it ideal for lasting fine art prints.
Each print is produced using archival giclée ink, a pigment-based ink system known for its superior longevity, depth, and color accuracy. Giclée (pronounced “zhee-clay”) printing is the gold standard in fine art reproduction, offering exceptional detail and dynamic range. The result is a vibrant, durable image that honors the integrity of the original artwork—perfect for collectors and admirers of quality.
Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity of your fine art print, keep it out of direct sunlight, which can cause fading over time. For optimal preservation, consider framing the print using UV-protective glass and archival materials. Store and display it in a cool, dry environment to prevent humidity-related damage. Always handle your print with clean, dry hands to avoid smudges or oils transferring to the paper. Avoid spraying any cleaning solutions or moisture directly onto the print surface. With proper care, your archival-quality print will retain its color, clarity, and impact for generations.
