Caring for your Prints and Original Artwork

PRINT CARE

If you would like to make your print last a long time, please follow these tips:

• Handle an unframed print by the edges of the mat, and obviously with washed hands. Try not to touch the colored part of the print itself. Oils in your skin can leave invisible marks that show up later.
• Keep the mat when you frame them. Mats protect the prints from touching the glass. In heat and humidity, paper can stick to the glass, completely ruining the print. If you decide to replace the mat in the future, make sure it is acid-free.
• Hang the print in a place that does not have direct sun falling on it throughout the day. UV light can quickly damage any piece of art, despite any measures taken in the printing process.
• Avoid hanging your art in bathrooms and near humidifiers. High moisture can cause the paper to ripple and mold over time. If you do hang it in a bathroom, please be sure to use the fan or open windows for ventilation. Keep the print displayed with a mat to keep the paper from touching the glass (where it can potentially stick to the glass).
