Print Quality & Materials
Our prints are produced using state-of-the-art giclée printing technology on premium 200 GSM matte paper. This museum-grade paper features a non-reflective surface that minimizes glare and showcases artwork with exceptional clarity. The archival-quality inks are fade-resistant and designed to maintain vibrant colors for decades when properly cared for.
Size Selection Guide
Choose from our range of sizes to perfectly fit your space. For walls above furniture (sofas, beds, consoles), we recommend prints that are approximately 2/3 to 3/4 the width of the furniture piece. Smaller sizes (4×6" to 11×14") work beautifully in gallery walls or intimate spaces, while larger formats (18×24" and above) create stunning focal points.
💡 Pro Tip: For best results, match size to wall width. Above sofa/bed, larger sizes (20×30" or bigger) create a premium, gallery-worthy look.

Complete Care Guide for Your Art Print
Follow these professional guidelines to ensure your museum-grade print remains vibrant and beautiful for decades.
Unrolling & Handling
Carefully unroll your print on a clean, flat surface. Allow it to relax for 30-60 minutes if it arrived rolled. Always handle by the edges with clean, dry hands. Avoid touching the printed surface to prevent fingerprints or oils from transferring onto the paper.
Placement & Lighting
Place your print away from direct sunlight, heat sources (radiators, fireplaces), and high humidity areas (bathrooms, kitchens). UV rays are the primary cause of fading. North-facing walls receive less direct sun. Use LED lighting or incandescent bulbs rather than fluorescent lights, which emit UV rays.
Framing for Protection
Framing provides the best protection from dust, humidity, and handling. Use acid-free mat boards to prevent yellowing. Choose UV-protective glass or acrylic glazing to block 99% of harmful UV rays. Ensure the frame has proper backing to prevent moisture infiltration. Leave a small gap between the print and glazing for air circulation.
Cleaning & Maintenance
For framed prints, clean the glass with a streak-free glass cleaner and soft cloth. Never spray directly on the glass; spray the cloth instead. For unframed prints, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth or artist's brush to gently remove dust. Never use water, solvents, or cleaning chemicals on the print surface.
Climate Control
Maintain stable temperature (65-75°F / 18-24°C) and moderate humidity (40-60% relative humidity). Extreme fluctuations can cause paper to expand, contract, or warp. Avoid storing prints in attics, basements, or garages where conditions vary dramatically. Use a dehumidifier in humid climates.
Storage Guidelines
If storing unframed prints, keep them flat in acid-free folders or portfolios. Interleave with acid-free tissue paper. Store in a cool, dry, dark place. Never fold prints. For long-term storage, use archival boxes designed for artwork. Check stored prints annually for signs of deterioration.
Hanging Best Practices
Hang prints at eye level (center at 57-60 inches from floor). Use appropriate hanging hardware based on frame weight: picture hooks for lightweight frames, wall anchors or studs for heavier pieces. Ensure the print is level using a spirit level. Keep away from doors that create drafts.
Inspection & Care Routine
Inspect your print every 3-6 months for signs of fading, foxing (brown spots), or environmental damage. Check that the frame backing is secure and moisture barriers intact. Rotate prints occasionally if you have multiple pieces to even out light exposure. Document the condition with photos for insurance purposes.
⚠️ What to Avoid
- Never expose prints to direct sunlight for extended periods
- Don't hang prints in bathrooms or above stoves where moisture and heat accumulate
- Avoid using regular tape or adhesives directly on the print surface
- Don't roll prints with the image facing inward (this can cause cracking)
- Never apply liquids or cleaning products directly to unframed prints
- Avoid extreme temperature changes and humidity fluctuations
🛡️ Professional Framing Tips
Consider professional framing for valuable pieces. Professional framers use:
- Museum-quality mounting: Acid-free materials and reversible techniques
- Conservation glazing: UV-filtering glass or acrylic (99% UV protection)
- Proper matting: Acid-free, lignin-free mats in archival quality
- Sealed backing: Moisture barriers and dust covers
- Appropriate spacers: Prevent print contact with glazing
📊 Expected Lifespan
With proper care, your museum-grade print can last:
- 100+ years when framed with UV-protective glazing and displayed properly
- 50-75 years when framed with regular glass in indirect lighting
- 25-50 years when unframed but stored correctly in darkness
- 10-25 years when displayed unframed in normal room lighting
These estimates assume no direct sunlight exposure and stable environmental conditions. Proper framing dramatically extends longevity.
💡 Remember: Your print is created with archival materials designed to last generations. Taking these simple care steps ensures it remains a cherished piece of art for you and future generations to enjoy.
