Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Unframed prints which are posted out will be rolled up with a protective layer of tissue. Handle your art print with care when opening as dark areas of the print may mark easily.
To flatten out rolled up prints carefully remove from the tube and lay it out, image side up, on a flat surface. With the tissue paper still covering the print's image, place a few, smooth, flat, heavy objects (such as books) on the ends and middle of the print. Then let it sit for a couple of hours.
