Warranty
All images listed on this web site, and all photo prints that we offer for sale are guaranteed to be free of material and workmanship defects and will last a lifetime, when not exposed to harsh conditions and misused by improper handling. Framing your piece with archival mat under UV glass Is recommend. The following instructions can prolong the life of your artwork:
Light: Sources of light such as sunlight, both indirect and direct as well as fluorescent lighting are rich in ultraviolet rays and are harmful to canvas and papers as well as to certain inks and colors. Art should be hung in weak daylight and be illuminated with incandescent lighting. Ultraviolet filtering glass will reduce light damage, but sunlight will should be still avoided.Heat: Never hang your art next to a source of heat or radiator, this will cause damage in a short period of time.
Humidity: Humidity above 70% can result in mildew or “foxing” on the paper. If your area experiences humidity above 70% routinely, dehumidify or air condition the rooms where the artwork is hung. Very dry conditions, below 30% can cause brittleness and should be avoided.
Storage: Never store artwork without being separated by acid-free tissue.
Ideally your art should be kept in individual folios with a acid -free tissue on either side of the print. Never store or leave art flat on the floor. Keep artworks elevated so that air can circulate underneath and around them. Clean framed artwork that is kept in storage on a regular basis, as dust contains airborne mold spores that can cause deterioration of the art.
Handling: Always have clean hands, natural body oils can permanently damage the papers and stain canvas. Always use two hands to lift the print, not on the side but under the print to support and not crimp the art. Never touch or drag anything across the image area, if you scratch or leave finger prints, you will leave a permanent mark that cannot be repaired.
