After my successful Kickstarter in the spring I am finally getting to the end. While I am packing, making shady deals with the shipping companies, ordering prints and buying cardboard boxes and cardboard tubes, I have also found time to make a guide on how to handle paper, especially fine paper with prints on. I have often sold graphic art, but I always talked directly to the customer and could give advice about how to handle the expensive piece of paper they just bought.
Now that I am going into internet commerce I am suddenly far away from the people I am trading with, so I thought I's better make a guide I could place together with the print. I am planning to make a new website where all the creative commons artwork I have made will be available and then I will also add a webshop making it easy for people to buy comics, prints and what else I make. It seems there is interest in such things.
So this is the guide:
Which is also availeble as a pdf: The Katharsisdrill guide to handling paper - pdf
There's probably still some typoes and bad English, so when you find them please let me know. The page is published as Creative Commons attribute.
Good advice. I have had prints fade over time and so have some of my book spines even though they do not get much direct sun. Unless you live in a museum these things are inevitable.
Yes, it is sort of a "don't put your dog in the microwave" corporate advice :)
