Archival Quality

The quality and brilliance of your giclée canvas print is assured by using only the finest archival materials and fine art printing processes available.

Images are captured using an Olympus Evolt E-510 10.0 megapixel digital SLR. Earlier images from slides and negatives are scanned into digital format using an Epson Perfection 3200 Photo scanner.

Giclée canvas prints are created using an Epson Stylus Pro 7800 printer with an 8-color UltraChrome K3 pigmented ink system or Stylus Photo 2200 printer with a 7-color ink system on archival quality canvas. They are coated with a satin lacquer-based finish for additional protection against moisture, ultraviolet light, ozone, fingerprints, etc.

Matted prints include a museum quality 8-ply rag mat board that is white with a black core giving the appearance of greater depth than typical double-matting with 4-ply mat boards.

Prints produced with archival quality canvas and ink mean that they are acid-free materials with little expected degradation over time. As long as care is taken to keep them out of direct sunlight, exposure to moisture, etc. they may remain in near perfect condition for 75 - 100 years. The archival materials and processing are more costly, but significantly increase the expected lifetime of your prints.
