  • Avoid placing it in direct sunlight. A prolonged period of direct sunlight for long durations is harmful to photo prints.
  • Place it in cool and dry areas. Too much moisture is not suitable for the print.
  • To clean it, you can use a soft linen cloth. Never rub it harshly; just clean it with light hands.
  • If you need to get rid of dirt on the canvas, take a damp cloth and rub it very gently.
  • Never use any type of chemical or excess water on the print.
  • Sometimes, while shifting, you need to pack and transport them. First, wrap them in acid-free paper. It will protect the print from scratches, and the acid-free paper won’t turn your canvas yellow.
  • Never place or rub the canvas with a finger or fingernails. It may scratch the surface.
  • You should avoid putting pressure on the canvas. Instead, divide the weight and hold it gently.
