What does the word archival
mean in the art business?
| It basically means an art image that will not fade
when properly framed. The person selling the reproduction wants the image to outlive them as well
as living into the future without showing any signs of ageing. Today Giclée inks and paper/canvas
have been extensively tested by independent testing companies and they are giving life span numbers
of 100+ years before any fading shows up. ( These numbers have been determined by hitting the
prints with large amounts of light, heat, and humidity) These conditions would never exist in a
normal home or office. |
