Why Proper Care Matters
Your MJ Metal Studio aluminum print is produced on premium ChromaLuxe panels using a high-temperature dye-sublimation process. The result is a scratch-resistant, moisture-resistant surface with extraordinary colour depth. With minimal care, your print will retain its brilliance for decades.
Damp Proof
Cleaning Your Print
- Use a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth for routine dusting.
- For fingerprints or smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with distilled water and wipe gently in circular motions.
- A small amount of isopropyl alcohol (70%) on a cloth is safe for stubborn marks.
- Always wipe dry immediately — do not allow moisture to pool on the surface or edges.
Pro Tip: A single pass with a clean microfibre cloth is usually all you need. Avoid repeated scrubbing, which can dull the surface sheen over time.
What to Avoid
- Abrasive sponges, steel wool, or rough cloths — these will scratch the surface.
- Harsh chemical cleaners, bleach, acetone, or ammonia-based products.
- Spraying liquids directly onto the print — always apply to the cloth first.
- Prolonged direct sunlight — UV exposure over many years may gradually affect vibrancy.
- High-humidity environments such as bathrooms or uncovered outdoor spaces.
Hanging & Placement
- Use the included float-mount hardware for a secure, level installation.
- Ensure the wall anchor or screw is rated for the weight of your panel.
- Maintain a small gap between the panel and the wall for air circulation — this prevents moisture build-up behind the print.
- Ideal placement: interior walls away from direct sunlight, heat vents, or air-conditioning units.
Storage & Transport
- Store prints vertically, never stacked flat under heavy objects.
- Wrap in acid-free tissue or a soft cloth before placing in the original packaging.
- Avoid storing in damp basements or hot attics where temperature fluctuations are extreme.
- When transporting, use corner protectors and ensure the print is secured against movement.
Built to Endure
ChromaLuxe aluminum panels are engineered for exceptional longevity. Unlike traditional canvas or paper prints that fade, crack, or peel over time, the dye-sublimation process permanently infuses colour into the panel coating at a molecular level — making it an integral part of the surface, not a layer on top of it.
ChromaLuxe states that their panels are designed to maintain their vibrancy and structural integrity for generations when displayed indoors under normal conditions. Your print is not just wall art — it is a lasting investment in quality.
