Question
How long do mounted prints last?
Answer
Lifespan depends on the substrate and where you keep the print.
| Mount | Typical lifespan |
|---|---|
| Foam core | 6 to 12 months indoors |
| Gatorboard | Several years in controlled spaces |
| Acrylic or metal | Many years with minimal fading |
- Keep prints out of direct sunlight to slow fading
- Stable temperature and humidity extend their life
- Acrylic and metal mounts are the most durable choices
