Quick answer
To display video game posters without damage, use archival-quality frames, avoid direct sunlight, and never apply tape or glue directly to the paper. A simple three-step process keeps your Fangamer prints safe.
Why Damage Happens
Posters from Fangamer are printed on quality paper stock, but even the best paper can curl, fade, or tear if exposed to moisture, UV light, or improper adhesives. The Undead Asylum print, for example, is a 12x30 inch horizontal piece that benefits from a frame that supports its full length without bending the edges.
How to display your poster safely
- Choose the right frame: Select a frame with UV-protective acrylic or glass and an acid-free mat. For odd sizes like the 12x30 Undead Asylum print, order a custom frame or use a clip frame that holds the poster without pressing it against the glass. Check the frame depth: a shallow frame can bend the poster edges.
- Mount without adhesive: Never use tape, glue, or sticky tack on the poster surface. Instead, use archival-quality photo corners or a hinging tape on the back of the mat. This keeps the paper intact and removable. Test the corners on scrap paper first to ensure they release cleanly.
- Hang away from hazards: Place the framed poster on an interior wall away from direct sunlight, radiators, air vents, and high-humidity rooms like bathrooms. Sunlight causes fading; heat and moisture cause warping. Use a level and two hooks for heavy or wide frames to prevent tilting.

Undead Asylum: This official DARK SOULS poster was designed by Judson Cowan as a companion piece to Laudate Solis. It's available as a print measuring 12x30 inches. The unusual horizontal size means you need a frame that fits exactly or a custom mat; a standard 12x18 frame will not work.
