Taking Care of your Investment

Classic Aviation art by Robert Taylor

Please Ensure:

  1. Acid Free: Acid free materials are used in the framing of aviaiton art print (ie. acid free matts, backboards). Make sure you use a reputable art framing store and they should know exactly how to handle the prints.Corner Hinges: Use only corner hinges to secure the print to the board. Do NOT use tape, as it will greatly decrease the value of your prin
  2. Keep out of Direct Sunlight: Direct Sunlight will fade the colour of the print over time. Be sure to hang your framed print on a wall that does not receive direct sunlight. As an additional safeguard, use UV glass in the frame.

These are simple yet important details to consider when framing your new aviaiton art print. Remeber, the value of your print will be lost if it is not cared for properly.

If you wish to store and protect your aviaiton art prints, ensure they are stored FLAT with acid free tissue separating each print (the tissue should be placed on the image side).

Most art galleries carry acid free "foam core." These sheets come in 8ft x 4ft lengths. Have the gallery cut one sheet in half and use the acid free corner tabs to secure the prints. Some collectors like to shrink wrap each print and this is a great way to view the print while protecting it from any damage.

Prints do not like humidity. Store your prints in an area that is free of great ranges in humidity.
