ARTWORK CARE and HANDLING

To preserve your artwork in pristine condition, always handle it with clean, dry hands. It’s recommended for extra care, wear gloves when unpacking. Keep your prints out of direct sunlight, as even archival inks thrive in gentle, indirect light. For framed pieces, lightly dust the glass or acrylic with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid high-humidity spaces such as bathrooms to prevent long-term damage.

HANGING YOUR FRAMED PRINT

Choosing the right piece for your space can be a challenge. Placing it properly can be just as important. As a general guideline, hang a single work of art at eye level, with the center of the piece approximately 60 inches from the floor. When positioning artwork above furniture, allow at least 6–8 inches between the bottom of the frame and the top of the furniture for a balanced, cohesive look.
It is recommended to hire a pro to hang larger pieces.

 LIGHTING TIPS

To maintain the integrity of your artwork, keep it out of direct sunlight and opt for LED lighting that emits minimal heat and low UV output. A mix of spread and spot lights are recommended, depending on the size of the framed print. Utilizing a professional electrician is recommended for multi-light setups.
