WHSPR

The work ships flat. Do not roll.

The sheet is intentionally left untrimmed. Treat the deckle as part of the work.

Handling

• Use clean, lint-free cotton gloves.
• Avoid touching the image area.
• Lift with two hands and keep the sheet flat while moving.
• The deckled edge is delicate. Take care not to catch it on corners, mounts, or glazing.

Framing

• Frame without trimming.
• Ensure an air gap so the print does not touch the glazing. Use spacers or an appropriate mount package to create separation.

Mounting (Archival and Reversible Only)

• If available, use torn kozo paper hinges with wheat starch paste.
• Mount to a museum-grade cotton rag backing board.
• Do not dry mount, heat mount, spray mount, or use pressure-sensitive tapes or full-surface adhesives.
• For a visible deckle, float mount with minimal hinging, typically along the top edge, allowing the sheet to move naturally with humidity.
• If using a window mount, hinge the sheet first and ensure the mount does not compress or flatten the deckled edge.

Care

• Do not use liquids, cleaning agents, or compressed air.
• If dusting is necessary, use a very soft anti-static brush with minimal contact, avoiding the image area.
