After you take into consideration those guides and you make the right decisions, you have to remember to take good care of it otherwise it might get damaged. It's not difficult at all to maintain your canvas art print. You just have to follow simple rules to allow your visitors to see it at its best.
The truth is that canvas prints can be completely protected from all kinds of damage only if they are stored in proper conditions in the dark. But, after all, you don't get a work of art to hide it in darkness, right? You want people to see and admire it and you want to enjoy it as well as it probably means a lot to you. Still, if you respect some easy tips to take care of them, it's guaranteed that you'll get the best of them.
The factors that damage canvas prints are the following:
- Humidity
- Dust
- Light
Dust is another key enemy. When you remove it from the canvas print, only use a soft cloth. Avoid soft dusters or chemical sprays. Wipe away the dust as often as you can. If there is a thick layer of dust, the canvas print might get scratched when you finally remove it so the quality will get deteriorated. Not to mention that dust makes it blurry and unkempt, so it definitely affects the viewer's experience.
Light, whether it's direct sunlight or artificial one, will lead to discoloration and brittleness. When you have to illuminate it, use a lightning that is as soft as possible. This will also guarantee a more sophisticated atmosphere. Don't place the canvas print under ceiling lights or any type of artificial light. Direct sunlight should be avoided at all cost too, so don't think of placing a canvas print near a window, where the sunrays will hit the canvas.
If you take care of it properly, your canvas print will preserve its aesthetic qualities for a long time. Just follow the simple guidelines above and enjoy your work of art.
