Product Insights
The Hi Flower 01 Print by Paper Collective offers a high-resolution (1200 DPI) pigment ink reproduction on FSC-certified acid-free paper with 80% wider gamut than CMYK, providing fade-resistant, glare-free color saturation. Its smooth matte finish eliminates glare but is fragile—permanent scuffs from touch require edge-only handling and archival framing with UV-filtering glass, spacers, and controlled climate. Designed by a self-taught Kyoto artist with graphic design training, this first print of a five-part series balances cheerful, adult aesthetics suitable for minimal or eclectic interiors. Produced made-to-order in Denmark with FSC and Nordic Swan ecolabels, it is also available as an acoustic panel.
- Framing
Archival framing needs UV-filtering glass, spacers, sub-50 lux, and 40-55% RH.
Why this is supported
Multiple framing and conservation sources agree that preserving Hi Flower 01's 12-color palette requires strict display controls.
UV-protective glazing – conservation glass or museum glass blocks 99% of UV light.
artis.loveWithout it, standard glass transmits UV that fades inks. The print must also never touch the glazing:
Spacers or mats – the print must never touch the glazing directly. Moisture condensation on glass can permanently bond to the paper surface.
artis.loveEven with UV-filtering glazing, light intensity and humidity must be regulated:
Keeping paper art in exhibition condition comes down to five numbers: display it below 50 lux, store it below 5 lux, hold relative humidity between 40 and 55 percent, use UV-filtering glazing, and let nothing acidic touch it.
austingallery.orgTogether, these precautions prevent fading, paper bonding, and moisture damage over decades.
- Handling
Handle matte prints by edges only; flatten if rolled; clean glass with sprayed cloth.
Why this is supported
The matte surface is vulnerable to permanent contact marks:
This is because matte papers achieve their matte finish by dispersing light with fine velvet-like fibres. And just like velvet, if you touch/rub/scuff it, traces of the contact will be left visible.
imagescience.com.auIf the print arrives rolled, it must be flattened:
Try to avoid placing art (or print) on paper in postal tubes. Paper has a memory, and you'll have difficulty in getting the print to lay flat again.
kingstonframeworks.caInstead,
KEEP IT IN THE PLASTIC SLEEVE. Lay it down on a clean, flat surface. Weigh down the edges with something heavy, books for example. Give it 24 hours to relax.
luizacreates.comFor the frame, clean glass carefully:
Don’t spray cleaner directly onto the glass—it can seep in and cause damage.
luizacreates.comUntil framed, store the print in an acid-free sleeve:
Keep your print in its protective packaging until you are ready to frame it. When moving an unframed print, support it fully with both hands to avoid bends or creases.
