Do Song Lyric Canvases Fade Over Time? (Honest AmourPrint Answer)
Short answer: A good-quality canvas printed with pigment-based archival ink and kept out of direct, all-day sunlight will not fade noticeably in 75–100+ years. Cheap dye-based prints in a sunny window can fade in 1–2 years.

How AmourPrint canvases are made
- Pigment-based archival inks (HP Latex / Epson UltraChrome grade).
- Cotton-poly canvas with a satin protective topcoat.
- Hand-stretched on solid-pine internal frame.
- Built to last 75+ years indoors at normal humidity.
What actually fades a canvas
- Direct, all-day sun (south-facing window with no curtain) — the #1 fade-cause.
- Dye-based ink (used by cheaper print-on-demand vendors) — fades in 1–3 years.
- No protective topcoat — canvas surface picks up dust and yellows.
- Heat near vents or fireplaces — warps the stretching over years.
Care tips so yours lasts
- Hang away from direct, all-day sunlight (especially south-facing windows).
- Dust gently with a dry microfiber cloth.
- Avoid hanging in steamy bathrooms or above active fireplaces.
- If a print starts to wave, store flat for 24 hours and re-hang — usually self-corrects.
