Fine Art paper details

Unless specific mention, we use Hahnemühle German Etching Fine Art paper.

This is a heavy-weight paper (310 g/m²) with a slightly warm base tone and a strongly marbled texture. It offers a museum quality with vivid colors and deep, rich, contrasting blacks.
This is due to the paper’s texture, which enables it to hold more ink and capture light.

Thanks to its weight and felted texture, this paper lends the artwork an artisanal cachet.

Handled with care and displayed according to certain recommendations, it can be preserved for up to 80 years.

Exhibition and conservation advices

◉ Avoid touching the artwork as much as possible, especially with bare fingers
◉ Consider framing the artwork to protect it from various external threats (dust, splashes, scratches, etc.)
◉ Prefer framing with protective glass included UV filter
◉ Maintain control over the artwork’s environment (light, humidity, temperature)
◉ Avoid exposing your artwork to bright light sources or direct sunlight
◉ Check from time to time that your artwork and its frame are in good condition

Respect all of these advices and your artwork will be preserved for up to 80 years.

*Preserved doesn’t mean that after 80 years your artwork will decompose itself. This means that it may loose a bit of its original condition (colors, shadows, texture, ..)

How can we take conservation even further?

If you want to preserve your artwork even longer, consider storing it in containers designed for archiving, such as museum-quality acetate sleeves, and placing it in acid-free archival cardboard boxes. Check your container from time to time to ensure that it remains in good condition and always free from insects, moisture or dust.

*Once it belongs to you, the artwork becomes your responsibility. These advices are general and does not supersede the opinion of a professional conservator.
