General Storage and Handling Instructions:
Keep the paper in its original packaging until required.
Store the paper flat.
Avoid extremes of temperature or humidity.
Do not store in direct sunlight.
Handle the paper by the edges or underside. Avoid touching the area to be printed, as oils from the skin could affect the print.

Printing:
The paper’s surface is most vulnerable when wet, and should be handled with care.
Low tack inks are advised for Offset Lithography.

Fade Resistance and Framing:
Frame finished prints with acid free materials to preserve the paper’s archival qualities.
As with all original artworks, prints should be framed behind glass and hung away from direct sunlight.
