- Keep the paper in its original packaging until required.

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.
