Is the materials used in this production environmentally friendly?
Absolutely. We prioritize sustainability by using FSC-certified wood for our frames and paper. This ensures that your fine art print meets high environmental and social standards for responsible forestry.
How do archival materials affect the longevity of the print?
Our use of acid-free, 250 gsm museum-quality paper and archival inks ensures that the colors remain vibrant and the paper does not yellow. Combined with shatterproof plexiglass, this protects the artwork from UV degradation and dust.
