Keep your Falcon Yes print vibrant with these simple care steps. Learn what causes fading and how to prevent it for long-lasting wall art.
Quick answer
To stop color fading on your Falcon Yes print, keep it out of direct sunlight, control humidity, and clean it gently with a dry microfiber cloth. These steps will preserve the vibrant colors for years.
Why prints fade: the usual suspects
Color fading happens when the pigments in your print break down. The main culprits are ultraviolet (UV) light, humidity, and airborne pollutants. Even indirect sunlight can slowly fade colors over time, and high humidity can cause the paper to yellow or the ink to bleed.
Understanding these causes helps you take targeted action. You don't need to frame every print in a museum-grade glass, but a few simple precautions can make a big difference.
Trade-off: framing choices
Standard glass blocks some UV rays but not all. If you want maximum protection, look for UV-filtering glass or acrylic, but it costs more. If you're on a budget, placing the print away from windows and using a mat to create a gap between the art and the glass can still help a lot.
Another trade-off: hanging in a bright room shows off the art but accelerates fading. A darker hallway or a wall that gets no direct sun is safer for the print's longevity.
Diagnose and fix fading
- Symptom: Colors appear washed out, especially in areas that get sunlight, or the paper has a yellow tint. If you notice this, act quickly to prevent further damage.
- Likely cause: Direct or indirect UV light, high humidity, or dust and pollutants settling on the print. Identify the light source and humidity level in the room.
- Corrective action: Move the print to a spot with no direct sun, use UV-filtering glass if framing, keep relative humidity below 60%, and dust gently with a dry microfiber cloth once a month. After relocating, check the print in a few weeks to see if fading stops.
- When to stop or choose another option: If the print is already severely faded, professional restoration may cost more than a replacement. At that point, consider buying a new print and applying these prevention steps from day one. For the Falcon Yes hoodie, wash inside out in cold water and air dry to keep its colors vibrant.
