Caring for your art: A Guide to Longevity.
Congratulations on your new art print / original and thank you for choosing Lily Kaseke's work for your home!
All art work is printed on Fine Art Paper or Real Cotton Canvas.
To ensure it remains vibrant and beautiful for years to come, here’s a simple guide on caring for it...
Caring for your Prints
Handling Your Print
-
Always wash your hands before handling your art print, or wear cotton gloves to prevent transferring oils and dirt.
-
Hold the print by its edges to avoid fingerprints and smudges on the printed area.
Framing and Displaying
-
When framing, use acid-free mats and backing boards to prevent discolouration and deterioration of the print over time.
-
Use UV-protective glass or acrylic to protect your print from harmful UV rays, which can cause fading.
-
Display your print away from direct sunlight to prevent it from fading.
-
Keep your print in a stable environment, avoiding areas with high humidity or extreme temperature fluctuations.
Cleaning Your Print
-
Use a soft, dry cloth or a static duster to gently remove dust from the surface of the glazing. DO NOT use water or cleaning solutions directly on the print.
Storage
-
If you need to store your print, keep it flat between acid-free paper or in an archival sleeve.
-
Cool, Dark Place: Store it in a cool, dark, and dry place to prevent damage from light, heat, and moisture.
By following these simple steps, you can protect your investment and enjoy your art print for many years to come!
