Museum-Grade Archival Paper: The Foundation of Excellence

Our reproductions begin with exceptional archival paper, crafted to the highest museum standards. This remarkable medium combines centuries-old papermaking traditions with modern conservation science to ensure your piece retains its beauty for generations. Each sheet is meticulously manufactured using pure cotton or alpha-cellulose fibers, creating a stable, enduring foundation for preserving historical images. The paper is carefully pH balanced and free from harmful acids that cause deterioration over time. The natural white tone and subtle surface texture enhance both the deep blacks of vintage photographs and the delicate colors of antique cartography. When you purchase a KNOWOL print, you're choosing the same archival standards trusted by the world's finest museums and institutions.

Let's be candid about frames: when you order them online, you're often paying premium prices for less-than-premium quality. By providing you with an archival quality print, we're giving you the freedom to get the exact frame you want. Here's why we've chosen a different path that puts you in control and saves you money.

The Truth About Shipped Frames:

• They need to survive shipping, which means lighter materials and simpler construction
• Shipping costs for large, heavy frames are astronomical—and that cost gets passed to you
• Pre-framed prints often use plastic covers or thin glass rather than museum-quality glazing
