We all have seen photographs that have faded with the passage of time. It's an unfortunate fact that exposure to light precipitates fading. We find this quite ironic considering that exposure to light is what created the photographs in the first place! Nevertheless, photographs will fade prematurely if they are not displayed or stored properly. The information on this page is intended to give you some guidelines to help you extend the life of your prints for as long as is possible. Our fine art prints are produced using digital darkroom techniques. Archival inkjet printing has now evolved to a point where the quality equals (and often exceeds) that of a traditional silver halide photographic print. We exclusively use Epson Ultrachrome and Piezography inks on either Bergger or Hahnemühle Fine Art archival papers. The projected life for these materials exceeds that of Fuji® Crystal Archive Paper (60 years under normal viewing conditions*), which is the de facto standard for printing material of archive quality. In addition, we only use archive grade materials in preparing our prints. Under normal viewing conditions*, our prints will have an archival life of 110+ years. Under dark storage conditions** this increases to greater than 200 years. The following points apply just as much to traditional silver halide prints as they do to any other form of photo printing technology.- The lower the ambient lighting level of your room, the longer your print will last. A print in a moderately-lit room will last much longer than one in a brightly lit room. Do not display your print in direct sunlight - exposure to direct sunlight is the surest way to fade it.
- Avoid displaying your print in areas of high heat or humidity. A cool, dry room is better than a hot one with loads of humidity in the air. An air-conditioned room is obviously best.
- Avoid displaying your print in a room where the air is polluted. Prolonged exposure to cigarette smoke, cooking fumes, pesticide sprays and other airborne contaminants will reduce the life of your print.
