How to Care for Your Print
Follow these steps to keep your print looking gallery fresh for decades.
Handling
Allow rolled prints to relax flat for 30 to 60 minutes. Handle by the edges with clean, dry hands and avoid touching the printed surface.
Placement
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and high humidity areas. North facing walls receive less UV. Use LED or incandescent lighting instead of fluorescent.
Framing
Use acid free mats and UV protective glass or acrylic for maximum longevity. Leave a small gap between print and glazing for airflow.
Cleaning
Dust framed glass with a soft cloth. Spray the cloth, not the glass. For unframed prints, use a dry microfibre cloth and never apply liquids to the surface.
Climate
Keep temperature at 18 to 24 degrees C and humidity at 40 to 60 percent. Avoid attics, basements and garages where conditions swing widely.
Storage
Store flat in acid free folders, interleaved with tissue paper, in a cool dark place. Never fold. Check stored prints annually.
⚠️ Avoid
- Prolonged direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
- Bathrooms, kitchens and areas above heat sources.
- Tape, adhesives or liquids applied directly to the print.
- Rolling with the image facing inward as this can crack the ink layer.
- Extreme or rapid temperature and humidity changes.
📊 Expected Lifespan
- 100+ years when framed with UV protective glazing and indirect light.
- 50 to 75 years when framed with standard glass and indirect light.
- 25 to 50 years when stored correctly in darkness.
This Toshio Shibata print turns the Grand Coulee Dam into a study in form, water, and the particular beauty of massive engineered concrete. Shibata has spent decades photographing dams, spillways, and water infrastructure across the world, and this 1996 Washington image belongs to the core of that project. As an industrial landscape print, this Grand Coulee Dam photo does something few photographers achieve: it finds the abstract inside the functional, the aesthetic inside the infrastructural. This Toshio Shibata print is fine art photography that rewards the same slow looking as a Hiroshi Sugimoto seascape.
Shibata works with large-format cameras and meticulous printing, and his black and white landscape images carry a tonal depth and spatial precision that makes the engineered subjects feel timeless — monumental without grandiosity.
