How to Keep Your Fine Art Prints Looking Amazing
So, you’ve got a beautiful fine art print—yay! Whether you're an art collector or just starting your collection, caring for fine art prints properly ensures they stay museum-quality for years to come. Luckily, it’s super easy! Here are a few simple tips:
1. Keep It Out of Direct Sunlight
Just like we need sunscreen, your art needs protection too! Too much sun can fade colors over time, so hang your print in a spot that doesn’t get harsh direct light—or go for UV-protective glass in your frame.
2. Frame It Right
A good frame isn’t just for looks—it protects your print! Invest in museum-quality frame with archival mats and acid-free backing to prevent discoloration. Opt for museum-grade glass or acrylic for UV protection, keeping your fine art photography looking it's best for years.
3. Handle with Care
Oils and dirt from your hands can transfer onto the print, so always hold it by the edges. If you want to go full pro mode, use cotton gloves when handling unframed prints.
4. Keep It Cool & Dry
Art doesn’t love humidity. Avoid hanging prints in steamy bathrooms or near radiators—stable temps and low humidity are best!
5. Dust Gently
Dust happens, but be gentle! Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe down your frame—skip the sprays, as they can seep in and damage the print.
Enjoy Your Art for Years to Come
A little care goes a long way! Whether it’s a Moose & Magpie piece or a custom storytelling portrait of your child, keeping it in great shape means you’ll get to enjoy it for a lifetime.
