Conservation advice for artworks
For optimal preservation of your Fine Art print:
Our Fine Art prints deserve special care to maintain their quality over time, preventing yellowing or fading.
It is recommended to always handle them with clean, dry cotton gloves.
If framing, use a passe-partout to avoid direct contact between the print and the glass.
Store the prints away from direct light. Even the materials of storage boxes are essential: cartons containing lignin or with acidic pH can damage the print support and promote yellowing.
