ART CARE GUIDE

Welcome to our Art Care Guide! Proper care and handling of your art ensures their longevity and keep them looking vibrant. Follow these tips to preserve your artwork for years to come.

Handling Your Art

Clean Hands

Always wash and dry your hands thoroughly before handling prints to avoid transferring oils and dirt.

Avoid Touching the Surface

Hold prints by the edges to prevent smudges and fingerprints.

Use a Clean Workspace

Ensure your workspace is clean and free from any substances that might damage your print.

Framing Your Prints

Choose Archival Materials

Use acid-free mats and backing boards to prevent yellowing and deterioration.

UV Protection

Select UV-protective glass or acrylic to shield your print from harmful sunlight that cause fading.

Proper Fitting

Ensure the frame and mat fit well to avoid the print shifting or getting damaged.

Displaying Your Prints

Avoid Direct Sunlight

Hang your prints in areas that do not receive direct sunlight to prevent fading and discoloration.

Control Humidity

Keep prints in a stable environment, ideally with 40-50% humidity, to avoid warping and mold growth.

Temperature Stability

Keep your framed posters away from heat sources and areas with significant temperature fluctuations to prevent damage.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Dust Regularly

Use a soft, dry cloth to dust the frame and glass. A microfiber cloth works well to avoid scratches.

Avoid Moisture

Do not use water or cleaning solutions on the glass or frame. If needed, use a damp cloth to lightly wipe the frame, ensuring no moisture seeps into the edges.

Check for Moisture

Periodically check for signs of moisture or condensation inside the frame, as this can damage the poster.

Storing Your Prints

Upright Storage

If you need to store framed posters, keep them upright in a dry, cool place to avoid pressure damage.

Avoid Rolling

If you must roll a print, do so loosely and use a large-diameter tube to prevent creasing. Always unroll and flatten the print as soon as possible.

Cover for Protection

Use protective covers or bubble wrap to shield the frame and glass from dust and scratches during storage or transport.
