The Definition Of Museum-Quality Paper

In order for fine art paper to be classified as museum-quality, it must meet strict archival standards to ensure it preserves artwork without degrading over time. Originally developed in the mid-20th century for conservation, it soon became the gold standard for galleries, museums, & fine art printers focused on long-term preservation.

This type of paper is designed to protect against yellowing, brittleness, & chemical breakdown, keeping artwork intact for decades or even centuries. It’s acid-free & lignin-free, preventing internal decay, & buffered to resist environmental pollutants.

Most commonly, it’s made from 100% cotton rag, a material historically used in some of the world’s oldest surviving documents due to its strength, durability, & stable surface. Unlike wood pulp paper, it won’t discolor, warp, or break down with age. It also holds pigment & ink with precision, preventing bleeding or distortion.

By investing in these materials for our artwork, we’ve made it possible to confidently offer a lifetime warranty on every piece, thanks to their archival properties.

We’ve always wanted the experience of unpacking our artwork to be unforgettable, with the museum-quality materials playing a key role. Our goal was to craft artwork that wasn’t just eye-catching but left a lasting impression - & we’re glad the materials contribute to making that happen.
