Unroll carefully: Use two hands to unroll the print slowly, avoiding any bends that could cause creases or wrinkles.
Flatten the print: Place it on a flat surface and weigh down the edges with books or cans for a day or two to allow it to straighten before framing.
Storage: If storing before framing, wrap the print in acid-free tissue (or glassine) and keep it in the tube, away from direct sunlight, heat, or moisture.
Avoid touching: Handle with clean hands or wear gloves to prevent dirt, scratches, or fingerprints.
Keep it dry: Ensure the print stays dry, avoiding contact with water or damp surfaces, and do not hang it in a bathroom or humid room.
Once these steps are followed, your print will be ready to frame! If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch.
