Care and Maintenance
1. I've never owned an original painting before – how do you clean it?
Don't use any sort of cleaning liquid or compound, ever. A light dust over with a feather duster is all that is needed.
2. How should I care for my giclée print?
Handle your print only by the edges. The oil from your fingers can affect the PH of the paper and reduce the archival qualities. Fingerprints on dark areas will show up as sheen.
Avoid bending your print - a crease will be permanent.
Keep your print away from moisture, condensation and humidity. Although our inks are water resistant, water can still cause damage.
If possible, allow a few days for your print to breathe and the inks to dry completely before framing. Select only archival (acid-free) frames. Wood frames treated with chemicals or paints can omit harmful gases that can attack the ink and paper.
Providing you keep your print free of dust, moisture and direct sunlight, it will last for many years.
