How archival are MetalPrints?

lmages printed with the MetalPrints process will last for generations when displayed indoors and out of dlrect sunlight, Like any fine art print, MetalPrints should not be exposed to direct sun light or high outdoortemperatures, Metal- Prlnts have an additional beneflt over Giclee or photographic processes in that they are waterproof and have an ultra-hard scratch resistant coating, The archival value of a print should be judged not only by its resistance to degradation by U V light and ozone exposure, but also to moisture and surface damage, When these factors are brought into the equation, Meta Prints are an excellent way to preserve an image,
