Best Practices to Protect and Preserve Your Artwork
Investing in a premium art print is an investment in beauty, craftsmanship, and atmosphere. Whether styled in a contemporary home, coastal retreat, or curated commercial space, your fine art print deserves thoughtful care to ensure it remains vibrant and timeless for years to come.
At Elda Koro Art Studio, all prints are created using museum-grade materials and professional printing techniques. With the right care, your artwork will continue to elevate your space long into the future.
1. Choose the Right Placement
Avoid direct sunlight and heat exposure
Even premium, archival-quality prints can fade if exposed to harsh, direct sunlight over time. To protect your artwork:
-
Position prints away from direct sun exposure
-
Avoid hanging near fireplaces, heaters, or air-conditioning vents
-
Choose softly lit spaces or filtered natural light
Tip: North-or south-facing walls often provide the most stable lighting conditions.
2. Maintain a Stable Environment
Consistency is key
Fine art prints respond best to stable temperature and humidity levels.
-
Ideal temperature: 18–22°C
-
Ideal humidity: 40–55%
-
Avoid bathrooms, kitchens, or damp areas
Sudden fluctuations can cause paper expansion, warping, or long-term damage.
3. Frame with Care
Professional framing makes a difference
Framing is one of the most important protective measures for your art print.
-
Use acid-free, archival mats
-
Opt for UV-protective glazing where possible
-
Ensure prints are not in direct contact with glass
All professionally framed works from Elda Koro Art Studio are designed to protect and showcase your artwork beautifully from day one.
4. Handle Your Print Gently
Clean hands, careful movement
When handling unframed prints:
-
Always use clean, dry hands (or cotton gloves)
-
Avoid touching the printed surface
-
Support the artwork fully when lifting or moving
If you need to reframe or relocate your piece, handle it slowly and with intention.
5. Cleaning Your Artwork
Less is more
For framed artworks:
-
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to clean glass or acrylic
-
Never spray cleaner directly onto the frame or glazing
-
Avoid chemical cleaners near the artwork
For unframed prints, avoid cleaning the surface entirely—dusting should only be done once framed and protected.
6. Storing Art Prints Safely
Protect before displaying
If storing your artwork temporarily:
-
Keep prints flat or rolled loosely in archival tissue
-
Store in a cool, dry, dark environment
-
Avoid pressure or stacking heavy items on top
Proper storage ensures your artwork remains pristine until it’s ready to be displayed.
7. Longevity You Can Trust
Museum-grade quality, designed to last
All premium art prints from Elda Koro Art Studio are produced using archival inks and fine art papers or canvas, chosen for their exceptional colour depth, texture, and longevity.
With thoughtful care, your artwork will maintain its richness and presence for decades—becoming a lasting part of your home or project story.
Final Thoughts
Caring for your premium art print is simple, intentional, and rewarding. By protecting it from harsh environments and handling it with care, you preserve not only the artwork itself—but the emotion, calm, and beauty it brings into your space.
