We understand you want your amazing prints to last forever, which is why we went straight to the source for an answer: Larry Abitbol, founder of BayPhoto.To keep your MetalPrints stunning, Larry says, "Images printed with the MetalPrints process will last for generations when displayed indoors and out of direct sunlight. Like any fine-art print, MetalPrints should not be exposed to direct sunlight or high outdoor temperatures. The archival value of a print could be judged not only by its resistance to degradation by UV light and ozone exposure, but also to moisture and surface damage. MetalPrints have an additional benefit over gicleé or photographic processes in that they are waterproof and have an ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating."
