Prints FAQs

MUSEUM QUALITY MATTE ART PRINTS

  • The Matte Art Prints are printed on 250 gsm/ 110lb uncoated, natural white (off-white) archival museum-quality paper that is perfect for fine art as it is designed to last for years without losing its original beauty.

  • With alkaline papermaking technology, this poster is acid-free, meaning the pH of the pulp that is used to form the paper is above 7 (neutral). The paper is also buffered with an alkaline reserve, such as calcium carbonate, to neutralize acid compounds absorbed from the atmosphere or formed through natural aging. This ensures that your poster will last many years without any yellowing or discoloration.

  • These posters are free from or low in OBA (optical brightener additives). This ensures that the natural white colour of the paper remains consistent under different lighting conditions. In contrast, the colour of papers that contain optical brighteners can shift depending on the light source. Additionally, the colour of OBA-free paper remains more consistent over time so that you can enjoy the poster for years without any shifts.

UL certified inks are used and are GREENGUARD GOLD based on the high air quality standards used for hospitals and schools.
