Setup and Installation

Your poster is designed for easy installation using various methods. Ensure the chosen surface is clean, dry, and suitable for the selected hanging method.

Recommended Hanging Methods:

  • Framing: For best preservation and a polished look, frame your poster using a standard 12x18 inch frame. Frames can be displayed on a wall or with an easel.
  • Poster Hangers: Utilize magnetic or clip-style poster hangers for a minimalist display.
  • Binder Clips: Attach binder clips to the top edge of the poster and hang them from small nails or hooks.
  • Double-Sided Tape or Putty: For temporary or lightweight hanging, apply small pieces of double-sided tape or removable poster putty to the back corners of the poster. Ensure the wall surface is compatible to avoid damage upon removal.

Display and Care

To maintain the quality and appearance of your poster, consider the following guidelines:

  • Location: Avoid direct sunlight exposure, as prolonged exposure can cause colors to fade over time. Choose a location with stable temperature and humidity to prevent warping or damage to the paper.
  • Handling: Always handle the poster by its edges to prevent fingerprints, creases, or tears on the printed surface.
  • Storage: If storing the poster, roll it loosely with the image facing outwards and place it in a protective tube or flat between acid-free sheets. Avoid folding or creasing.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help keep your poster looking its best:

  • Dusting: Gently dust the surface of the poster with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth or a soft brush. If framed, clean the frame and glass according to their specific instructions.
  • Cleaning: Do not use liquid cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials directly on the poster surface, as this can damage the print. For minor smudges, a very lightly dampened cloth (water only) can be used with extreme caution on non-printed areas, but it is generally not recommended for the printed surface.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

  • Poster is curling: If the poster curls after unrolling, gently roll it in the opposite direction for a short period, or place it under flat, heavy objects for several hours. Framing the poster will also flatten it permanently.
  • Adhesive not sticking: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. For textured or freshly painted walls, consider using a frame or poster hangers instead of direct adhesive.
  • Fading colors: This is typically caused by prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Relocate the poster to an area with indirect light or consider framing it with UV-protective glass.
