How to Flatten Your Large Print (A2 & A1 Sizes)

To ensure your print looks its best, follow these steps to flatten it:

1. Prepare a Clean, Flat Surface

Find a large, clean, and flat surface like a table or floor.
Ensure the surface is free of dirt, dust, or anything that could damage the print.

2. Unroll the Print Gently

Carefully remove the print from the tube.
Lay it flat on a clean surface, allowing the natural curl of the paper to relax.

3. Reverse Roll the Print

Take one end of the print and gently roll it in the opposite direction of its original curl.
Do this slowly to avoid creasing or damaging the print.

4. Secure with Gentle Weight

After reverse rolling, lay the print flat again.
Place a few heavy, flat objects (like books) on each corner and along the edges to keep it flat.
Ensure the objects are clean to prevent marks on the print.

5. Allow Time to Flatten

Leave the print under the weight for at least 24 hours.
Extra-curled prints may require up to 48 hours.

6. Check Progress

After 24-48 hours, check if the print has flattened.
If necessary, reapply the weights and allow more time. How to Best Frame Your Art Print

To showcase and protect your print, proper framing is key. Here are some tips to help you get the best results:

1. Choose the Right Frame Size

Measure your print: Make sure to measure your print’s dimensions (A2 or A1) and choose a frame that fits.
Matting options: You can add a mat (the border inside the frame) to give extra space around the artwork, which enhances its presentation. A white or neutral-coloured mat works well for a clean, modern look.

2. Use UV-Protective Glass

UV-filtering glass or acrylic: This helps prevent fading by blocking harmful ultraviolet light, keeping the colours of your print vibrant over time. It’s especially important if the artwork will be displayed in bright or sunlit areas.

3. Opt for a High-Quality Frame

Materials: Wood or metal frames work well for giclée prints. Choose a frame style that complements the artwork without overpowering it.
Colours: A classic black, white, or natural wood frame provides a minimalist look, while a bolder colour can make the artwork stand out.

4. Ensure Proper Backing and Mounting

Acid-free backing: Use acid-free materials to avoid discoloration of the print over time.
Securing the print: Make sure the print is evenly secured in the frame, either using photo corners or framing tape designed for artwork. Avoid using regular tape, which can damage the print.

5. Placement and Care

Avoid direct sunlight: Even with UV-protective glass, it’s best to avoid placing the framed print in direct sunlight to minimize fading.
Cleaning: When cleaning the glass, use a soft, lint-free cloth and avoid spraying cleaner directly on the glass to prevent moisture from seeping into the frame.

6. Custom Framing Options

For a truly professional finish, you may want to consider custom framing from a framer who can tailor the matting, frame style, and glass options to your specific print.
By following these tips, your print will not only look beautiful but stay protected for years to come.
