The Dangers Facing Your Photographs
Photographs capture our most cherished memories, freezing moments in time that we want to hold onto forever. However, without the right care and protection, these precious images can deteriorate, losing their vibrancy and detail over time. At Harmann Studios, we prioritize the longevity of your photographs, and one of the key ways we achieve this is through the use of a prestige finish with UV protection coating. In this blog, we’ll explore why we use this special finish, how photographs can get damaged over time, and what we do to ensure our products last a lifetime.
Photographs are delicate and susceptible to various forms of damage. Understanding these risks is essential to appreciate the value of protective finishes.
-
Sunlight Fading: Prolonged exposure to sunlight is one of the biggest threats to photographs. The ultraviolet (UV) rays in sunlight break down the chemical bonds in the photographic paper and inks, causing colors to fade and images to lose their sharpness. This process, known as photo-degradation, can turn vibrant photos into dull and washed-out versions of themselves over time.
-
Moisture and Humidity: Photographs stored behind glass are often thought to be protected, but glass can trap moisture, leading to potential damage. High humidity levels can cause mold and mildew growth, which can ruin the photograph. Additionally, moisture can seep into the photo paper, causing it to warp or develop unsightly water spots.
-
Light Magnification: Glass can act as a magnifier, intensifying the light that passes through it and focusing it on the photograph. This concentrated light exposure can accelerate the fading process and cause uneven discoloration, particularly if the photograph is displayed in a sunny area.
Our Solution: Prestige Finishes with UV Protection
To combat these threats and ensure your photographs remain as stunning as the day they were taken, Harmann Studios uses a prestige finish with UV protection coating. Here’s how this innovative solution works:
-
UV Protection: Our UV protection coating acts as a shield against harmful UV rays. By blocking out a significant portion of these rays, the coating prevents photo-degradation, keeping colors vibrant and details sharp for years to come. The best part is that with UV protection, you don't need to frame your photo with glass any longer!
-
Moisture Resistance: The prestige finish adds an extra layer of defense against moisture and humidity. This coating creates a barrier that prevents water and humidity from penetrating the photo paper, reducing the risk of mold, mildew, and water damage.
-
Durability: The prestige finish not only protects against environmental damage but also adds a level of physical durability to the photograph. This means your photos are less likely to get scratched, scuffed, or damaged during handling and display.
