The printing method and materials used by Stephen W. Oachs Fine Art Photography and the LIGHT: The Expedition Photography Studio were chosen because of the proven ability to deliver exceptionally durable, extremely high-quality prints that will last a lifetime.
All limited edition prints are produced using state-of-the-art digital printers that use a silver halide chemical process, the same as found in traditional photo labs. Photographs are printed on archival-quality Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper from Fujifilm. This is an acid-free, resin-based photography paper noted for its unmatched archival quality, ensuring your pictures will look great for years to come. It has long been considered the finest color photographic paper available and is the choice of professional photographers and commercial labs.
The independent researcher, Wilhelm Imaging Research, proved that Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper is the most fade-resistant photographic paper currently produced, outlasting other major brands by almost a three-to-one margin. The studies showed that under normal display conditions, FujifilmÕs Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper lasted 60-70 years before any noticeable fade was detected, whereas the nearest competing paper was estimated to only last 15-20 years before fading.
