Prints Care Guide

To achieve optimum printing results and the desired print permanence, please follow the recommendations:

• Ambient and environmental conditions like temperatures, humidity, light intensity, indoor ozone and air pollutants can influence the print permanence.

• When using synthetic foils, adhesives and adhesive tapes, make sure that they are archival.

• Plasticisers and solvent-based ingredients can discolour the print. Use only synthetic foils, adhesives or adhesive

  tapes without solvent-based ingredients and plasticisers.

• Furthermore, do neither store or display prints next to air conditioners or humidifiers nor in rooms where work is

  being carried out using paints, varnishes or oil containing solvents. Pollutant concentrations can occur at the air

  inlets and outlets and cause discolouration.

How to uncurl your print:

• If possible, wear clean cotton gloves when handling the print. If you don’t have these, then make sure that you wash your hands first to remove any oils. Hold the print carefully at the edges, you can touch the white border if your print has one but not the printed surface.

• Place the print on a flat, clean surface away from direct sunlight and leave the protective tissue over the print. Place a book, or another heavy object on the very ends of the print (both ends). Leave overnight and the print should become flat.
