Guarantee
These prints have been produced using the highest quality Pigment-based Inks and Archival Matte Papers available in the world today. They have a life expectancy in excess of 100 years (given normal hanging or storage conditions, which for prints would be indoors, under glass.) Care should reasonably be taken to avoid exposure to direct sunlight, excessive heat, or damp. The secret of this longevity is the special reaction between the Pigment Inks and the Archival Paper Coating which bond permanently. Extensive testing has been conducted over several years based on accelerated fade tests where prints are exposed to increased levels of Ultra Violet light and accurate analysis over all the colours can determine the rate of decomposition. All colours fade but we do know now the rate at which they fade.
