I know I know, drymount=badbadbad. I don't think any of the materials coming out of the Irrational store are even close to archival, I'm not worrying about the signature degrading before the whole piece does.
Of course having said that I did put the whole signed litho trio under museum glass at considerable expense

You guys would be the only ones worried about that. Anyone can fake anything with enough effort. Low numbers really don't have an effect on value, I would ask them all to reconsider. Better to stick with pencil, the way all the other professional printers do.
