How to Care for Fine Art Prints (Collector’s Guide)

Every artwork begins as a fleeting moment — a photograph transformed, a feeling preserved. But once it reaches you, its journey is not over. Fine art prints carry memory, light, and fragility; they deserve care so their story can endure.

This is why I created this simple collector’s guide. Whether you are just beginning your collection or adding a new piece to your walls, these steps will help preserve the depth and stillness of your Orin Kade fine art prints.

Handling & Display

• Always handle your prints with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves.

• Avoid touching the printed surface directly.

• Display away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

• Use archival-quality framing materials, such as acid-free mats and UV-protective glass.

Cleaning & Maintenance

• Never apply liquids directly to the print.

• Use a clean, soft brush or air blower to gently remove dust.

• Keep artwork away from high humidity spaces like kitchens or bathrooms.

Storage

• If not displayed, store your prints in a cool, dry place.

• Use archival sleeves or acid-free tissue to protect the surface.

• Keep prints flat whenever possible, or in a sturdy art tube only for transport.

Why Care Matters

Art remembers the light it was born in. When you preserve it with intention, you preserve the emotion that lives within it. Caring for your prints is not only about protecting paper and ink — it is about honoring the silence, the mystery, and the beauty that each piece holds.
