Giclée posters on Hahnemühle German Etching Paper

1. Physical Hazards

• Paper Cuts: Handling the poster, especially the edges, could lead to paper cuts.

• Frame or Mounting Issues: If the poster is framed or mounted, sharp edges or glass can pose risks, especially during installation or if the frame breaks.*

2. Chemical Hazards

• Ink Fumes or Residues: There could be minimal chemical residue from the inks, especially if the poster is freshly printed. Allow proper ventilation if there’s any noticeable odor.

• Paper Coatings: Hahnemühle German Etching Paper may have coatings or treatments to enhance print quality. Though generally safe, individuals with chemical sensitivities should handle the poster cautiously.

3. Environmental Factors

• Fire Hazard: Paper is flammable. Avoid placing the poster near open flames, heaters, or other heat sources.

• Moisture Damage: While not a direct safety concern, moisture can degrade the poster, leading to mold or mildew, which can cause respiratory issues if left unmanaged.

4. Allergic Reactions

• Dust or Fibers: Handling paper could occasionally release small fibers or dust particles. Those with severe allergies or respiratory sensitivities might experience irritation.

• Archival Treatments: If the paper or inks have been treated with any preservatives, there’s a slight risk of skin or respiratory irritation for highly sensitive individuals.

5. Weight and Placement Risks

• Wall Mounting Risks: Improper mounting can lead to the poster or its frame falling, which might cause minor injuries or damage to property.*

While these risks are minor and uncommon, ensuring proper handling, ventilation, and safe placement of the poster will mitigate any concerns.

*Frames are not offered for sale in this store. All posters are supplied without a frame.
