What is "Archival"?

There is currently no exact definition for "archival"--different organizations define it in different ways and there is no universal testing standard for longevity.

However, this term is loosely used to describe paper and inks that will last an extremely long time without fading or deteriorating if kept under controlled conditions.

Every print and painting you see in a museum is of archival-grade.

Some indicators that determine if a paper is of archival quality:

• Acid Free
• Lignin Free
• 100% Alpha-Cellulose

Acid Free paper can be made from any grade of cellulose and means the paper is lignin- and sulfur-free. Acid free paper has the capability to last between 500 and 1000 years.

Alpha-Cellulose is the highest grade of cellulose, as it is the most stable. When a paper has a high percentage of Alpha-Cellulose, you are guaranteed a stable, permanent medium for inks.

Should I Spray My Giclée Print?

Short Answer: No.

Long Answer:

Usually, if you are not planning on framing your print behind UV glass, you should spray your print with a protective varnish. This is especially true for matte finish prints.

For semi-glossy, glossy, and metallic prints, this varnish can leave visible residue and actually reduce the glossy appearance, so we highly advise that you avoid any kind of protective varnish or spray.
