Canvas Care Instructions

 

You have purchased a high quality Giclee canvas, it is important that care is given

when cleaning this product. The Giclee was printed using Epson’s Ultrachrome Archival Inks

and canvas produced by Breathing Color. Giclee coatings, otherwise known as canvas varnish

or post-print coatings, serve to protect, preserve and enhance fine art and photographic prints

produced on digital inkjet printers.

Canvas varnish protects and preserves the giclee prints by inhibiting harmful Ultraviolet light

from burning out optical brightener additives and other fluorescent whitening additives,

which inhibits the inkjet canvas and/or fine art paper from "yellowing". Canvas varnish also

protects against moisture and abrasion.

Do not rub or use abrasive products to clean this product.
 

If you penetrate the coating you will damage the print. Feather dusters can be used as well

as lightly wetted non-abrasive cloths with mild soap. On gallery wrapped products you will

find the printed image wraps onto the back, use this area as a test area for cleaning.

 

In addition, keep this product as well as all artwork out of direct sunlight as it

will accelerate fading and damage the product.
 

Care Instructions - Photo and Cotton Papers 

Artwork must be kept from direct or harsh indirect sunlight regardless of whether it was

printed on cotton or pulp based paper. In addition, high humidity will warp any paper

over a period of time, as a sheet of paper absorbs moisture it grows in size, anything

which restricts this growth will be reflected in ripples, known as cockling.
