An archival digital print is printed onto paper using a high-quality inkjet printer and pigment-based ink. This process achieves a clear and durable finished print with excellent resolution. Giclée prints hold their colour and value for much longer than regular prints. In fact, they are known to last approximately 200 years before they start to fade. They are museum-quality prints that are built to last.

To ensure longevity of your fine art print, I recommend an archival type of framing, which includes usage of acid-free tape (so it won’t damage the print with time), archival boards (preferably cotton-based), leaving an air gap between the glass and artwork, and choosing a UV filtering glass. Blick Art stores offer such services, as well as numerous other framing stores.
