Important Note About Sizing. 

Pricing is based on the paper required to reach your desired final sheet/output size.  Due to differences between the aspect ratios of images and various paper sizes it may not be possible to get your image to print at a given size without adding boarders, cropping or resizing it. We will always consult with you while taking your order and if a discrepancy comes up later we will contact you before proceeding.

This makes the image archival, that is to say, resistant to fading over time or from exposure to light. Similar care is taken to use only the highest quality archival papers which will also stand the test of time without breaking down or discoloring. As a result, prints prepared this way can last up to 200 years if properly stored and cared for. By contrast, the cheaper dye based processes used in more common processes have archival 

Why does that matter?

Because it's rarely possible to keep prints in ideal conditions. Sunlight, changes in humidity and so on can and will shorten the life of a print.
