Do AmourPrint Canvases Fade? UV + Color Longevity Guide | AmourPrint
AmourPrint canvases use pigment-archival ink + a satin UV-protective topcoat, which means they DO NOT fade under normal indoor conditions. The pigment-based ink is fundamentally different from dye-based mass-market printing — it lasts 75+ years indoors at normal humidity without color loss.
Why pigment-archival ink beats dye-based
- Pigment-archival — color particles encapsulated in resin, UV-stable, 75+ year lifespan
- Dye-based — color absorbed into the canvas fiber, fades under UV exposure, 5-15 year lifespan
What conditions cause fading
Even pigment ink will eventually fade under:
- Direct sunlight 8+ hours per day (e.g. west-facing windows, full sun exposure)
- High humidity (over 70% relative humidity)
- Extreme heat (above 90°F sustained)
For normal indoor display (away from direct windows, normal temperature + humidity), AmourPrint canvases retain full color for decades.
Topcoat protection
Every AmourPrint canvas has a satin protective topcoat that adds UV + moisture + scratch resistance on top of the pigment ink. Combined, the print is rated for indoor display for the lifetime of a marriage (plus generations after).
