​

Fixative is NOT used on any artwork due to the damage it causes. Artwork can and will smudge if handled incorrectly. It is strongly recommended that clients leave their artwork in the protective acetate provided until it is given to the framer, who should also be advised not to touch the artwork.

Daler Rowney's superior 1.4mm white core, dawn grey presentation mounts are supplied with all commissions. They are attached to the artwork using acid-free mounting tape.
