A bit of mystery and a dose of science
After our pets photograph is digitally prepared we then convert it to a permanent, U.V. stable all weather image. Any traditional form of printing or photography will not stand the test of time outside and will even suffer inside from U.V. light.
We have developed an imaging process where we convert the colours to ceramic glaze materials that are made from mineral pigments. These mineral pigments are applied to the glazed suface of our porcelain and kiln fired in a carefully controlled process up to 900oC. No other printing materials would survive this process.
At 900oC the glaze on the porcelain becomes molten and the image fuses into it and settles beneath the surface. The item is carefully cooled and the image is locked into the glaze.
These finished items are all made of vitrified porcelain. This means they will not absorb moisture and therefore are unaffected by rain, snow or frost. The image is in the glaze and having survived through 900oC of heat nothing the elements throw at it makes any impression on it. It is fully U.V. stable.
This process is the most archivially stable form of imaging that exsists. Your chosen memorial item will look the same in 5, 10 or 100 years irrespective of whether it is displayed inside or out.
