Mounted canvases come with the following standard backing:

Professional Taped Backing with Wire Hanger:

Exclusively for Mounted Canvases, a canvas-like matte tape is meticulously applied to conceal staples. With no backing, your canvas retains its breathability, preventing mold and mildew buildup. A wire hanger is affixed approximately 2/3 up from the bottom of the canvas.

If you prefer to add a backing, please get in touch with us. Choose between black and white options, crafted from acid-free matting board, and select either a sawtooth or wire hanger."

Handle your Giclée canvas print with the same care and attention as you would any other artwork.

• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Hang or display your canvas in areas away from direct sunlight or use UV-protective glass if framing.

• Handle with Care: When moving or handling your canvas, do so with clean hands and avoid touching the printed surface directly.

• Keep Dry: Ensure the canvas remains dry at all times. Avoid hanging in areas prone to high humidity, such as bathrooms or kitchens, as moisture can damage the print and lead to mold growth.

• Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth or feather duster to gently remove dust from the surface of the canvas. Avoid using cleaning products or water, as they may damage the print.

• Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep sharp objects away from the canvas to prevent punctures or tears. Handle with care during framing and avoid leaning objects against the canvas surface.

• Maintain Temperature: Maintain a stable room temperature and avoid extreme fluctuations, as temperature changes can cause the canvas to expand or contract, potentially leading to warping or cracking.

• Display Properly: If framing your canvas, ensure it is properly supported and secured within the frame to prevent sagging or distortion over time. Use acid-free materials to prevent degradation of the print.

• Inspect Regularly: Periodically inspect your canvas for any signs of damage or deterioration. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage and ensure the longevity of your artwork.

Following these care instructions will help preserve the quality and appearance of your giclée on canvas for years to come, allowing you to enjoy your artwork for generations.

Unrolling: Carefully unroll the canvas print onto a clean, flat surface. Avoid using sharp objects or excessive force, as this may cause creases or damage to the print.

Protection: Consider wrapping the rolled-up canvas in acid-free tissue paper or a clean cotton sheet to provide additional protection during storage or transport.
