How should you handle your photographs?

  • Wait between 12 and 24 hours after printing before handling the photos;
  • Avoid touching the surface or wear cotton gloves to avoid leaving a mark on the surface of your photos;
  • Do not rub photographs together.
 

How should you exhibit/store your photos?

  • Do not expose your photos to direct light;
  • If possible, ensure that images on show are protected by UV glass;
  •  Avoid storing or exhibiting your photos in a room in which there are solvents or other paints.
