Care & Handling

Cleaning your mounted fine art photograph

Extreme caution should be used whenever it is necessary to clean the surface of your Fine Art photograph. Per the manufacturer’s instructions, dust the picture glazing with a soft, damp cloth or chamois. Apply only light pressure, rinse with clean water, and dry by blotting the cloth. Dry or gritty cloths may cause surface scratches and create a static electric charge on the surface. 

Do not use window cleaning sprays, kitchen scouring compounds, or solvents such as acetone, gasoline, or lacquer thinner to clean your image, as this may cause permanent damage to your image.

Lighting

Lighting your image properly involves using a mixture of spotlights and spreads. The proper degree of spread will depend on the distance of the light fixture from the photograph. While several light bulbs can sufficiently light your image, we use MR16 halogen bulbs whenever our prints are being exhibited. It is best to seek the advice of an electrician or lighting professional to ensure the proper balance of light and presentation of your photographic print.

For high-quality results on a budget, you will need to source warm light LED downlights with narrow beams (ideally 12-25 degree beams will be best but anything below 60 degrees will suffice)
