Care and Quality
How Do I Care For My Prints?
As with all prints, proper care will maximize display life. Our prints are for indoor display only and we recommend that prints be framed under glass or in a protective sleeve to protect the prints from atmospheric contaminants, the humidity, cigarette smoke, and high levels of ozone. While we do use fade-resistant ink, prints should be kept out of direct sunlight. By taking these steps to protect prints from direct sunlight and contaminants, you can preserve your beautiful maps for many years.
What Is The Quality Of Your Prints?
We use 10.3 mil 192 GSM ultra premium matte EPSON® paper for our large prints. EPSON rates the lifetime of the print up to 100 years when stored in a picture frame.1 Our equipment prints using 6-color high-definition fade-resistant ink. Our materials are sourced from local Canadian vendors and printed in Vancouver, British Columbia.
1 Based on accelerated testing of prints displayed under glass in indoor display. Actual print stability will vary according to media, printed image, display or album conditions, light intensity, temperature, humidity and atmospheric conditions.
