The God of Mischief

Natural skin oils or other contaminants can easily transfer to the print. As a preventative measure, we recommend washing your hands before touching a print.

Use both hands and support the back of a print when picking it up.

Never attempt to rub the surface of the image with your finger or fingernail as this could scratch the surface of the print.

Keep your print out of direct sunlight. Even the best quality materials are subject to cracking or fading if exposed to prolonged periods of sunlight. Although normal incandescent light bulbs do not present a problem for photographic images; fluorescent lights do emit harmful ultraviolet rays.

Hang your print away from areas where airborne grime, dust and pollutants such as cigarette smoke can leave a discolouring residue.

Avoid extreme fluctuations in moisture and temperature. Excessive fluctuations between dryness and humidity, or extreme heat and cold can negatively affect the state of your print.
