Print Care

Prints are carefully crafted by the author of the image(s) from which they were made.

Most photographic media fade with time and exposure to sunlight and pollutants. The technology applied for these prints does not use soluble dyes that are fugitive but, rather, pigments in suspension that are especially designed and produced to improve the longevity of the image when using compatible printing media.

Nonetheless, prints for display should be promptly, and professionally framed after receipt, and hung where they are not exposed to direct sunlight.

Provided that they are mounted and over-matted on acid free board behind glass, and sealed from the back with an acid free board and tape, the prints should last for very many years.

Matt surfaced prints are printed on specially manufactured and coated water-colour papers. The prints are sensitive to abrasion and should be treated with particular care prior to framing: I treat them almost as if they were pastels but, as with any print, care should be taken never to touch the image.


I hope your print will give many years of pleasure.
