How long do canvas prints last?

With the right inks and care, a canvas print can hold its color for many years indoors.

• Archival pigment inks resist fading far better than dye-based inks.
• A UV-protective coating adds another barrier against light and handling.
• Keep prints out of direct sunlight to slow any color shift.
• Avoid high-humidity spots like bathrooms, which can loosen the stretch over time.

Uncoated prints hung in bright, sunny rooms may start showing fading within a few years, so a coating is worth it for display pieces.
