Jim,

I would offer the same guarantee as I have with my silver fiber prints. If the print should prove defective due to materials or workmanship I will replace it at no charge. I would expect photographers to do this regardless of the medium. You need to stand behind your work. If my inkjet prints should fade I would not expect the buyer to take a loss. Obviously the guarantee is only good as long as I am alive and still able to make prints. 

I tell people that photographs should not be hung where they will receive any direct sunlight, be exposed to moisture or be subjected to extreme temperatures. They should be framed under glass or plastic with quality archival materials.
