How to Handle & Frame your Fine Art Reproduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a fine art giclée, by artist Vern Wayne Pond.

Your giclée (ghee-clay) was created using the most advanced form of digital printmaking.

This museum quality giclée provides unsurpassed color depth and life-like reproduction of the original artwork. It is printed on a specially selected heavyweight archival watercolor paper.

With proper care, your fine art should last a lifetime.

Here is some information about handling and framing your artwork and prints.

• Avoid storing your fine art in damp or humid areas, or close to a high heat source.
• Mold from humidity can be damaging to the paper.
• Use experienced framers familiar with conservation materials and techniques.
• Do not allow glass to rest directly on the art.
• When framed, there should be space between the print and glass.
• Always handle your art with clean hands, and use both hands when lifting, to avoid creasing and crimping.
• Never touch the image area. Fingerprints and scratches can damage your artwork.
• Ultraviolet light rays are harmful to ink and paper, so your artwork should be framed with a glass that filters UV light, and your art should not be placed in direct sunlight.
• To clean the glass, use non-ammonia glass cleaner sprayed directly on a cloth.
