Good to know, though is it even possible for them to be 100% UV-resistant?

Oh no you carry the street fighter line also i will have to look into that.

Do you know when you will be releasing more warcraft prints? Do you have a plan where itis x prints for every x months?

[CookBeck]

Yeah, we have some Street Fighter works as well. Mostly from the classic series (which I personally like best). Akiman, CRMK artists etc. We actually have the very first Chun-Li (in her final form) concept art, which I really like personally.

I'm very pleased to hear the first reactions to the WoW prints are so positive! . I always hope we live up to the expectations.

For now, there is no 100% UV resistant product.
The giclees we have are about 50 - 60 years guaranteed to not fade or discolor under normal use. So hanging in a living room for example. In controlled museum conditions it's about 200 years. The prints on metal are 100 - 200 years. These are all based on lab tests but we also test in practise ourselves.

Whenever we have new materials, inks of finishes, we make prints with these materials, ride out to the desert in Spain, lay them out in the sun and leave them for a year. When we pick them up after a year we measure the degradation.

We're also going to add a small rim aluminum frame soon.

I really wish this print was still in stock

It's a stunning street fighter piece.

Wow! Tracking said the 29th and they showed up today. I only unrolled about 4 inches and it looked amazing. I gotta store them so I didn't unroll them. I'm stoked though. Didn't want to risk damaging anything by unrolling and trying to roll back up and put in the tube. Would love to store them flat though if anyone has any suggestions for me.

That's awesome. Thanks for the info.
