You now possess one of the best fine art prints available today. We would like to share a few points on maintaining your valuable print. A little extra care can preserve your prints up to 50 years, any negligence or improper care may shorten its life.

• Keep your print away from direct sunlight. If exposed to bright sunlight for long periods of time, it may fade. More importantly, these prints are to be displayed indoors only.
• During transportation or storage, try not to stack the prints one on top of another. Separate them with pieces of cardboard to avoid damage.
• Rough handling can damage both the print and the frame so pack it securely while transporting. Be sure to put a heavy piece of cardboard/padding over the front and back to protect it. Then bubble wrap and place in a suitable cardboard box
• Always try to display the prints in a dust-free environment. Occasionally dust with a clean, soft brush/duster to prevent dust buildup. Do not use cloth, cleaning products or water
• While handling or framing, please take extreme care by using cloth gloves to avoid scratches on the print and frame. Also, request the Framer/Installer to use gloves while Framing or Installation to avoid fingerprints and scratches on the printed surface.
• Avoid subjecting your prints to extreme changes in atmosphere. Avoid excessive dryness, humidity, heat or cold. All these weather conditions can adversely affect the print.
• Especially, when in a coastal area or hilly region, if the walls are developing fungus or dampness due to continuous rains, there are chances it may spread to the frame. It is advisable to fix some small rubber bush behind the frame on four corners so that there is no direct contact between the wall and the frame. It is always advisable to have the print with glass frames in these areas.
• Do not cover prints on canvas with glass, since canvas needs to breathe, if it is framed under glass you may trap moisture inside the frame. Canvases experience small, subtle snifts over time due to mild atmospheric changes, so it is best to leave them without glass to allow them to flow with these slight changes,
• In case of moisture, kindly keep the frame in warm sunlight for just 1 hour per day for a week. Or, in the absence of sunlight use a hot air blower or hair drier for 10 minutes in very low heat.
