Caring for your Art

After you receive your prints rolled in our protective tubes, handle them with care by using the corners and back to avoid touching the printed surface. Lay the prints flat and let them naturally flatten and correct any minor creases from shipping.

We take great care in packing your prints with the highest level of protection to prevent any damage during transport. Upon receiving your framed prints, gently remove the packing materials. For optimal care, it is highly recommended to clean your hands with soap or use clean gloves before handling the artwork.

Pro Tip: For careful handling, use both hands to gently hold your print by its opposite corners to prevent creasing.

.Avoid contact with the Printed Area

Try not to touch any printed areas on the page, and if possible, handle with gloves to prevent smudges and creases.

The environment in which your print is displayed plays a crucial role in its protection.

LIGHT: Ensure your art is kept out of direct sunlight, especially south-facing light, to prevent yellowing of your print. Note: This advice does not apply to laminated or framed prints.

HUMIDITY: Keep the relative humidity between 35% and 55% to protect your print. Excessive humidity can lead to mold or insect damage, while low humidity can cause the paper to become brittle.

TEMPERATURE: Maintain a cool environment for your prints and avoid areas with extreme temperatures, like radiators or air-conditioners. Warm or moist conditions can lead to faster deterioration and encourage mold and insect issues.

POLLUTION: For the best protection, keep your prints away from dust, dirt, and pollutants. Light dust can be removed with a clean, dry cloth
