» STRETCHED CANVAS

Streched Canvas
All of our giclee canvas prints are produced to the highest standards. Each print is output on industry leading wide format printers using archival inks and canvas. With proper care your canvas will last for generations.

Your canvas print has 3 top coats of UV archival varnish, therefore it has added protection against fading. However, you will shorten the life span of your print if it is displayed in continuous, strong sunlight.

Don’t place your canvas print too close to sources of heat (directly above a radiator, oven, or open fire).

Do not use any chemical cleaners, fluids or sprays to clean your canvas print. Dust can be removed gently with a dust brush, or use a statically charged cleaning cloth or a light feather duster.

Avoid putting pressure on the surface of your canvas print. This can over stretch your canvas.

When transporting your canvas protect it by using bubble-wrap or a similar impact resistant protective covering, and add additional care to the corners and edges.

When storing, do not stack items on your canvas. Keep your canvas stored in an upright position.

Vinyl Wall Graphics
In order to maintain your wall graphic’s original appearance, it is important to adhere to the following guidelines:

When cleaning the graphic, use a mild soap and water solution or household cleaners that DO NOT contain bleach or petroleum-based ingredients.

Use lint-free cloth rags or sponges for cleaning. Do not use scrubbing pads or scouring sponges.

To remove difficult items such as lipstick or crayon, choose a citrus-based cleaner to remove the stain, then immediately rinse with mild soap and water solution.

Graphics should be hand-cleaned only. Clean graphic beginning at the top and work down.

If your wall graphic has seams be sure that you DO NOT wipe cleaning solution into the seam. This could cause the edges to lift and curl up from the wall. After cleaning the graphic, use dry, lint-free microfiber cloths for drying.
