taking care of your photographs

As with any photograph, proper care will minimize color changes and maximize display life of your photograph. Handle your photographs carefully, preferably with gloves, to avoid transferring human skin oils to your prints. Avoid stacking prints on top of each other without protective sheeting between them.

Prints should be framed under glass or placed in an acid-free plastic sleeve to protect the prints from atmospheric contaminants like humidity, smoke, and ozone. As with all photographs, the prints should be kept out of direct sunlight. For proper storage, prints should be stored in an acid-free photo album or plastic photo storage box in acid-free archival sleeves commonly available from most camera shops.
