What's the difference between luster and matte paper?

Luster is a subtle satin finish — slightly reflective, with more punch in shadows and saturated color. Matte is non-reflective, easier to view under angled or strong lighting, with a softer overall feel. Both are archival-rated.

What's included with a framed print?

Framed orders include the print, a white acid-free mat, a backing board, a glass or acrylic glazing, and wire-mounted hardware ready to hang. Unframed orders ship in a rigid envelope or tube depending on size.

Are paper prints fade-resistant?

Archival pigment inks resist fading under typical interior lighting for 80+ years. Direct sunlight will shorten that meaningfully — for sunny rooms, metal is the more durable pick.
