Please keep in mind that I also take my time packaging the items to ensure that the art is packaged safely for transit to you. I prefer to ship items out on Mondays so I can easily track the shipping during the week, but I will ship on other days for expedited orders.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY NEW ART PRINT?
HOW DO I CARE FOR MY NEW ART PRINT?
I really care about the quality of my prints. I don't want a mass-produced colour faded version of my art. I want heavy rich prints that spin off of your wall.

All prints are Giclee fine art prints, created by using a specialized high-resolution inkjet printer. Giclee prints stand apart with their extremely high level of quality, longevity and value compared to a standard print. They are known for their longer lifespan—they’re resistant to smudging, sun, or humidity damage. This deterioration is prevented by using pigment-based instead of dye-based inks. Pigment inks, unlike dye inks, are UV-resistant and stronger when prints are handled. The pigment ink produces a truer colour value. The high resolution ensures the print will be sharper and more detailed, even up close.

Giclée prints are made with archival paper or canvas. Archival paper is known for its outstanding durability because it’s acid-free. This type of paper or canvas ensures that your prints won’t degrade like regular paper. The paper my prints are on is Moab Entrada Bright Art Rag. Entrada Bright is a dual sided 100% cotton rag paper. It utilizes multiple receiving layers which equate to water resistance, and prints with incredible detail and excellent tonality. Entrada also features a maximum color gamut and exceptionally deep blacks.

That being said, you can hang your prints directly on the wall poster style, or frame them if you desire. I prefer to mount art with 3MM style velcro tape.
