Always handle with clean, dry hands, ideally using cotton gloves. Natural oils and dirt from fingers can stain or degrade the paper. Avoid rolling or folding the paper unless advised by a conservator.

Temperature: 22–30°C | Relative Humidity: 45–55%. Maintain stable temperature and humidity, as fluctuations can cause paper to expand, contract, or warp.

UV rays cause fading and irreversible pigment damage. LED lighting is preferred.

Avoid placing near radiators, air conditioners, bathrooms, or kitchens.

Keep flat in a clean, dry, and dark environment using acid-free archival folders, portfolios, or boxes. If stacking, place acid-free tissue paper between artworks. Avoid plastic sleeves unless they are archival-grade polyester.

Regularly inspect for silverfish, booklice, or mold. Avoid damp basements or attics. In humid climates, use silica gel or other desiccants in storage containers.

Never clean the surface with chemicals. Dust only the frame and glazing with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. If you notice discoloration, foxing (brown spots), or surface flaking, consult a professional conservator immediately.
