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.

Keep Away from Direct Sunlight: Prolonged sunlight exposure can fade colours. Display your painting in soft, indirect light.
Avoid Moisture and Extreme Temperatures: Keep the painting in a stable environment, avoiding high humidity, heat, or cold.
Dust Gently: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. Never use water, cleaning sprays, or abrasive materials.
Handle with Clean Hands: Always ensure your hands are clean and dry when handling the painting to avoid transferring oils or dirt.
Frame Protection: If framed, ensure the frame stays secure and dust-free. Check the hardware periodically for stability.
