Caring for Your Canvas Giclée
Your fine art giclée reproduction is beautiful and delicate and should be handled with the same extreme care that you would give an original painting.
The giclée has been produced using superior printing technologies and premium quality materials.
Treat this investment as you would any piece of fine art. To ensure that your giclée maintains its presentation quality for years of enjoyment, please adhere to the following recommendations when handling and displaying:
Canvas giclée may be gently dusted using a soft, clean dry cloth.
Do not apply any additional coatings
Use a professional framer who has experience stretching and framing giclée canvases.
Do not use glass when framing. The giclée needs to breathe.
Do not spray the back of the canvas with water or any other liquids.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
 
Room climate should be controlled to avoid excessive stretching or shrinkage. A consistent environment with temperatures within the 60 to 85 degrees F range and relative humidity of 30 – 55% is recommended.
