Archival & Collector Information

 
Original Digital Fine Art - whether photographic or painterly - is printed with archival inks on archival quality art paper or canvas. The life of a Digital Fine Art print is equivalent to that of fine art photography. Here are some links to information on the longevity and archival quality of digital prints:

What is the difference between prints and reproductions?

What is an Edition?

 
"The technology for how we print our images is changing at a ferocious pace. In 1995 an inkjet print was largely an object of derision, suitable for amateurs and hobbyists, especially if they didn't care (or know) that the print would likely discolour and fade in months.

Today an inkjet print from one of Epson's pigment-based printers has an expected life span of nearly 100 years, longer than any previously available colour print media, including Cibachrome and Dye Transfer."

"Digital fine artists (rather than home consumer users) are the ones truly pushing the envelope in print technology capability, media handling of the printers, and ink/archival durability of the prints overall."

- Patti Williams
