How to Care for Your Art Print
When it comes to preserving your prints for years to come, proper care and handling are essential. Here are some expert tips on how to care for your prints:
Should prints be framed?
For optimal protection, it is recommended to frame your prints under UV-protective glass. This type of glass helps to block harmful UV rays that can cause fading and deterioration over time.
To keep your poster looking its best, we offer framed prints with shatterproof, transparent plexiglass (also known as acrylic glass) to protect it from damage. Not only does it provide a clear and unobstructed view of your artwork, but it also offers UV protection to prevent fading over time.
How can I prevent damage from sunlight?
Avoid hanging your prints in direct sunlight or in brightly lit areas. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can lead to fading and discolouration. Choose a location with minimal exposure to natural light to preserve the quality of your prints.
How should prints be handled?
Handle your prints with care to avoid smudges or damage. It is best to use clean, dry hands when touching prints. Alternatively, you can wear clean cotton or silk gloves to prevent oils and dirt from transferring onto the print surface.
Should prints be cleaned?
If your prints accumulate dust or dirt, gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using any cleaning solutions or water, as they can damage the print surface. Regular dusting can help maintain the clarity and vibrancy of your prints.
By following these guidelines for print care, you can ensure that your prints remain in pristine condition for years to come. Proper framing, handling, and maintenance are key to preserving the beauty and integrity of your cherished prints.
