>>> Marc was there a warranty on the print spelling out failure or defects? Or
is this a spoiled homeowner used to throwing his financial weight around
looking for a replacement print year after year? I see a slippery slope
ahead. 

I have to agree. Unless you made some sort of unwise guarantee with this
print, you have no responsibility. We only tell buyers what our suppliers
have told us. If anyone owes anybody anything, the ink and paper makers owe
your client a new printŠ MAYBE!

No one ever goes to a painter and demands a new painting because the colors
aren't exactly the same as they were last year.

Sculptors are not expected to periodically visit their work to wash off the
pigeon poop. (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)

At the very least, you should tell your client the cost of a replacement
print will be half the original purchase price. Otherwise he will expect a
new print every few years and THAT will absolutely be YOUR fault!
