Giclee prints are certified archival quality, they will maintain their color and quality for up to 100 years in home display and 300 years in dark storage. Despite being of archival quality, care should be taken to avoid displaying images in direct sunlight which over time may cause fading or discoloration. If the art will be mounted and framed behing glass or acrylic I recommend selecting the matt finish. Metal photo prints have become extremely popular and seem to be “all the rage.” The service I use for printing, mpix, states the following about metal prints, “Renowned for enhanced color + clarity, Metal Prints are printed on a sleek aluminum surface utilizing a state-of-the-art dye sublimation printing process. Available in two distinct finishes (Glossy or Matte).”
