Rolled Prints
1. Unroll it carefully: Use two hands to unroll the print slowly and gently. Avoid bending which will cause creases or wrinkles.
2. Flatten the print: Place the print on a flat surface with weights (books or cans) on the edges to flatten it. Leave it like that for a day or two to allow it to straighten out before framing.
3. Storage: If you need to store the print before framing, wrap it in acid-free tissue paper (or glassine) to prevent it from sticking or rubbing against other surfaces. Keep it in the tube provided, away from direct sunlight, heat, or moisture.
4. Avoid touching the print: Handle the print with clean hands or wear gloves while touching it. This will prevent dirt, scratches, or fingerprints from damaging the print.
5. Keep it dry: Please ensure that the print does not come in contact with water or any damp surface. Avoid hanging it in a bathroom or a humid room.
Once you have taken care of the above points, your print should be ready to frame!

3. Dust Gently: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. Never use water, cleaning sprays, or abrasive materials.
4. Handle with Clean Hands: Always ensure your hands are clean and dry when moving or touching the painting to avoid oils or dirt transferring to the surface.
