Care of prints

Prints supplied by Forest Prints are very durable and have a very long life span of 50 to 100 years if the following points are observed.

It is most likely that prints will be displayed in picture frames, so mount them under glass to minimize exposure to humidity, cigarette smoke and other atmospheric contaminants. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, near sources of bright light or excessive heat. A normal domestic environment should not have an adverse effect on the quality of the print.

The displayed prints will last longer when protected from the environment, but will not last as long as prints stored in photo albums.

1. Display your prints away from extreme temperatures, i.e. over central heating radiators or hot air ducts. High humidity, direct sunlight or bright lights.
    

2. Do not display or store prints outdoors.
    

3. When framing prints in high humidity, condensation may form behind the glass. Remove the prints, store in a dry place and frame again when humidity levels drop.
