We print with archival pigmented dyes on a smooth 10 mil semi-gloss paper. The process is called giclee printing. It's similar to your own home or office ink-jet printing, but on a different scale. Think "bicycle" and then "Harley-Davidson." The prints are considered archival in that they are rated light-fast for 85 years, but they are not truly "archival" by museum standards after framing, as we frame with some materials that fall outside this narrow definition. (We cold mount with adhesive to styrene, for example, rather that use linen tapes with acid free backing boards.) If you'd like your print framed to archival standard then you should order it unframed and go to a specialty frame shop — but honestly, it would be easier to just order a reprint in about a hundred years. Framers should cold mount or dry mount, but not to exceed 165°.
