Archival Matting & Framing
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Conservation
or preservation framing is a method of picture framing that preserves and protects
artwork. It ensures that all the
materials used in framing and matting will not harm the artwork, and will, as
much as possible, protect the artwork from physical damage.
Professional picture framers are trained in the proper techniques and materials
for preservation framing.
If artwork is not properly framed in a preservation manner, it can fade, yellow,
stain, even be burned by acids in inferior framing
materials – causing irreparable damage and loss of value and beauty.

The combination of the archival inks and archival papers
ensure a print that will last for generations, and then further protect the
image with several coats of_ PremierArt™
Print Shield.
PremierArt™
Print Shield has been proven to significantly increase (and sometimes double!)
the longevity of images printed on
digital fine art papers. It also helps protect the print from airborne pollutants,
water & moisture, light, and even fingerprints.
