Printed on high-end inkjet printers with archival wide-gamut pigmented inks and our own custom profiles, these prints have detail, tonality, color accuracy, and improved gamut beyond anything previously available. They are archival quality prints using fade-resistant inks and matched archival quality papers. Image life expectancy (before noticeable fading) is 80-100 years or more when mounted under glass, in average indoor lighting.
