‘Cerro Torre’

Description

‘Cerro Torre, Patagonia’. Los Glaciers National Park, Patagonia, Argentina, South America. This inspirational finger of granite reaches an altitude of 10,262ft. This image views it from the south over the Glacier Grande from the Mirador del Cerro Torre. The lesser towers seen to it’s right are (from L to R) Torre Egger, Punta Herron and Aguja Standhart. Much controversy surrounds the first ascent of this challenging and difficult climb but the first undisputed ascent was made by four Italian climbers: Daniele Chiappa, Mario Conti, Casimiro and Pino Negri in 1974.

Specifications and a brief background about the materials chosen in these prints are below:

Image area 10″ x 13.33″ (3000 x 4000 px)

Archival paper: Hahnemuehle 350gsm Museum Etching – a natural white, 100% cotton paper, which guarantees archival standards. With its premium matt coating, Museum Etching features a distinct textured surface, which meets the highest industry standards for density, colour gamut, colour graduation and image sharpness, while preserving the special touch and feel of genuine art paper. Hahnemuehle were founded in 1584 and are the oldest German papermakers manufacturing papers for traditional and digital artists.
Your print is designed to archival standards and is acid-free.

Archival inks: UltraChrome K3™ ink technology represents a turning point in the history of Giclée printing, producing archival prints with amazing colour fidelity, and scratch resistance, while providing stable colours from the moment prints exit the printer, lightfastness ratings of up to 108 years for colour and over 200 years for black and white under rigorous industry accepted display conditions. Protected with two coats of Fine Art Protective Spray increases the water-resistance of prints and protects images from fading caused by UV rays, and adds up to 100% increase in fade resistance. Also protects against airborne contamination and ozone damage.

General Care: As with any valued fine art print, it is recommended that it be displayed in indirect lighting conditions and away from any contact with moisture. Using archival materials for mattes, backing and spacers, museum quality framing and UV protected glass/plexiglass will add to the life of the print. The artwork should never directly touch the glass/plexiglass.

Giclée Prints: The paper of the print itself needs to be handled carefully to prevent absorption of oils and/or marks from fingertips. Be careful to avoid dents and creases, since these can be very difficult or even impossible to remove later.

Lighting: It is recommended that you DO NOT keep your Giclée prints in direct sunlight, even though your print comes with UV protective coatings. Less light means less fading from harmful ultraviolet rays.
