Your Wokeface Print Is a Seconds Piece – Handle It with Care
Wokeface prints are sold as "seconds" – they may have minor imperfections, though most people won't notice. Because these prints are not graded as flawless, a little extra care goes a long way in keeping them looking their best. This article covers practical steps for handling, displaying, and storing your print to preserve its color and condition.
No matter which Wokeface print you have, the following advice applies to the 8"x8" or 8"x10" size. Since prints are final sale and cannot be returned, investing a few minutes in proper care helps your art stay vibrant for years.
How to Handle Your Wokeface Print
Start with clean hands. Oils and dirt from fingers can transfer to the paper and cause discoloration over time. If you must touch the print directly, handle it by the edges only.
For extra protection, consider wearing cotton gloves when unpacking or framing the print. This is especially important if you plan to display it without glass.
- Unpack carefully: Open the packaging on a clean, flat surface. Remove any tape or adhesive slowly to avoid tearing the paper.
- Avoid bending or folding: Prints are flat sheets. Store them flat or rolled gently – never folded. Creases cannot be removed and will permanently damage the image.
- Keep away from moisture and direct sun: Humidity can cause paper to warp or develop mold. Direct sunlight accelerates fading. Choose a display spot out of direct light and away from damp areas like bathrooms.
Display and Storage Tips
For display, frame the print behind UV-protective glass or acrylic. This blocks most ultraviolet rays that cause fading. A mat also keeps the print from touching the glass, preventing moisture buildup or ink transfer.
If you prefer not to frame, place the print in a clear archival sleeve or portfolio. Store it flat in a cool, dry place – like a drawer or a box – away from heat vents and radiators.
When stacking multiple prints, interleave them with acid-free tissue paper to prevent ink from transferring between sheets.
What to Keep in Mind with a Seconds Print
Because Wokeface prints are seconds, they already have minor imperfections that you may or may not notice. Extra care won't erase these, but it will prevent new damage from handling or display. If you order multiple prints, Wokeface will try to avoid sending duplicates, but cannot guarantee it – so each print may be unique.
Sales are final, so treat your print with the same care you would a full-price piece. The tips above help ensure that any small factory flaw remains the only blemish.
