After It Arrives
How to Frame & Display Your Print
Four simple steps, tube to wall — no tools, no specialist knowledge.
-
Unroll & Let It Relax
Remove from the tube and lay face-down on a clean flat surface for 20–30 minutes. The 200 GSM matte stock self-relaxes — any shipping curl releases without heat or moisture.
-
Pick a Standard Frame
Every size matches a standard off-the-shelf frame — IKEA HOVSTA, Target Threshold, Amazon Basics. An 18×24" drops in directly. No trimming, no custom framing.
-
Glass Is Optional
Our matte finish eliminates glare, so hanging without glass often shows more detail — particularly deep blacks and shadow gradients. If you prefer glass, use UV-protective acrylic.
-
Avoid Direct UV Sunlight
Archival pigment inks are rated for 75+ years indoors. Choose a wall with indirect or diffused natural light for the longest possible display life.
