Prints are fragile works, so you have to handle them with care. Here are four important tips to keep your artwork beautiful for as long as possible.

Tip 1: hold the print carefully

Always grab a print on both sides so that no kinks can occur in the paper. It is best to hold the corners so that the rest of the work does not get dirty.

Tip 2: have the print carefully framed

Perhaps the most important tip to keep your print beautiful for as long as possible is to have the work carefully framed. Preferably visit a frame maker. He can assemble the print in the right way with the right materials that are needed to prevent damage to your print. it may not be the cheapest option, but it is the best.

Tip 3: avoid sunlight and moisture

If you want to hang a print on the wall, do not hang it in the sunlight or in a humid place. This way you prevent the work from discoloring and brown spots on it. So hang your new print in a moisture-free and shady spot in your home.

Tip 4: choose the passe-partout carefully

Pay close attention when choosing a passe-partout: choose one that is acid-free. Acid can cause yellow stains on the work. Also, don't cut your sheet to make it fit into a smaller frame.
