Enemies of Your Art<\/span><\/p>\n

Always remember to keep your artwork out of sun light or any other form of\u00a0direct lighting. \u00a0Heat,\u00a0excessive dryness, and humidity are enemies of art and paper so try to keep your artwork in a cool dry location.\u00a0 Also, try\u00a0to avoid subjecting your artworks to extreme changes in atmosphere.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nStoring Your Art<\/span><\/p>\n

Use only archival materials including acid free paper to store your artwork. \u00a0Try to store your artwork flat in a flat file or some other method, however if you can and must roll your artwork, make sure not to roll it to tightly.\u00a0\u00a0Do not cover your artwork with plastic for long periods of time unless you use archival sleeves.\u00a0 If there is humidity in the air, non-archival sleeves may hold moisture and may start to grow mold.<\/p>\n

Framing Your Art<\/p>\n

When framing your artwork always make sure that your framer uses only archival materials, including acid free paper and boards.\u00a0 Make certain your framer does not use adhesives or tape to mount your artwork\u00a0to a board.\u00a0 We\u00a0recommend that your framer uses a process called\u00a0hinge-free mounting.\u00a0 This\u00a0is a non-invasive method of securing prints, drawings, or photographs into a mat without applying adhesives or tapes directly to the artwork.<\/p>\n

It is also recommended that you do not use glass in your frames.\u00a0 Limited Runs\u00a0only uses UV Plexi which protects your artwork\u00a0from light and is shatter proof.<\/p>\n

Damaged \/ Restoration<\/p>\n

If your artwork does get damaged, please don’t attempt to fix it yourself.\u00a0 Unprofessional repairs can reduce the value of your artwork drastically. Contact Limited Runs at support@limitedruns.com<\/a>\u00a0and we’ll refer a qualified conservator.<\/p>\n
