How to Care for Posters & Prevent Fading

8 March 2026·4 min read

A good print should look as fresh in five years as it does today. Three things threaten it: light, moisture and bad storage. All are easy to manage.

Sun is the enemy of colour

  • Avoid hanging directly opposite a window in harsh, all-day sun.
  • Frame important prints under UV-protective glass or acrylic to slow fading.
  • Our prints use quality inks and stock, but no ink is immune to constant direct sun.

Keep it flat and dry

  • Let a newly delivered print relax flat for a day before framing if it arrived rolled.
  • Avoid humid rooms for unframed posters — moisture causes curling and cockling.
  • Handle by the edges; oils from fingers can mark the surface over time.

Tip: Storing spares? Roll (don’t fold) print-side out, loosely, in a tube — or lay flat between card.
