Print care

Archival pigment prints on cotton rag are rated to last generations indoors. A few habits keep them that way.

Where to hang

  • Out of direct sunlight. Pigment inks are lightfast, but strong daily sun will fade any print over years.
  • Away from radiators, fireplaces, kitchen ranges and air vents.
  • In bathrooms only if the room is well ventilated; steady humidity above 65% can ripple paper.

Lighting

LED picture lights and warm-white LED spots are ideal. Avoid halogen close to the frame.

Hanging

Each frame arrives wired or with D-rings. Hang from two hooks rated for at least twice the frame’s weight to keep it level. For multi-panel works, use the paper template in the box: tape it to the wall, mark the hooks, and keep the gaps shown on the work’s page.

Cleaning

  • Dust the frame with a dry, soft cloth.
  • Clean acrylic with a microfibre cloth and an acrylic-safe cleaner. Never use glass cleaner with ammonia, and never spray directly onto the frame.
  • Don’t open the frame. If moisture or a mark appears inside, contact us.

Storage

Store frames upright, face to face with card between them, somewhere dry and at room temperature.
