Caring for your Limited Edition
Print New Fine Art Giclée (ghee-clay) prints are produced using the most advanced form of digital printmaking. The Giclée process provides unsurpassed color depth and life-like reproduction of the original artwork. The prints are produced with water based inks, any contact with water will damage it. NEVER touch the image or drag anything across it. A scratch of fingerprints are permanent and cannot be repaired. Do not use pressure sensitive tape near the print. Conservation Framing: We recommend using a highly experienced picture framer for advice. Your print should be conservation framed to keep it in its original state, never cut down a print to fit a frame you may already have.
Sunlight and fluorescent tube lighting have harmful ultra-violet rays that can damage the paper and some inks used in printing. Hang your print in a room with weak daylight and incandescent lighting. For the maximum protection of your print from ultra-violet light, we recommend ultra-violet filtering plexiglass. This plexiglass requires some care and is slightly more expensive than glass. Plexiglass should never be used on drawing done in charcoal, chalk or pastel. The static electricity it creates may remove the medium from the paper. You should also protect your print from extreme temperatures and humidity. High temperatures combined with high relative humidity can cause mildew or "foxing" on paper. If humidity is a problem in your area, air-conditioning or dehumidifying is recommended. © Peter Corbin | Sporting Art | www.petercorbin.com |
