Canson Infinity encompasses a range of Digital Fine Art media that exceeds the ISO 9706 museum grade standard and that has been developed to meet galleries and museum's longevity requirements. Canson has submitted the Digital Fine Art & Photo range to the world's leading independent print permanence testing laboratory, Wilhelm Imaging Research (WIR) for longevity testing on the Canson Infinity range.
Canson Infinity Digital Fine Art papers and canvases have passed all five WIR print permanence tests in all conditions:
These comprehensive test results now allow users to have all-inclusive image permanence information regarding prints produced on Canson Infinity paper and canvas. They can sell their work with complete confidence that prints produced on a Canson Infinity paper or canvas will last for generations, when displayed under the conditions outlined.
Canson reinforces the importance of protecting prints and insists on the fact that a print intended for long-term display should be framed under glass or plastic to protect it on a permanent basis. Special care should be taken when manipulating, storing and framing Fine Art papers. For instance, only acid free material (glue, framing board, etc) should be used for storing and framing, to avoid yellowing and migration of chemical additives (often present in certain glues) into the printed media.
We offer on this website extensive advice on handling, storing and framing your print.
