How to Protect Canvas Signatures?

[AbejasAsesinas]

Murph, that is why I'm not jumping the gun on this one. I figured there must be a reason the item came with no glass.

The item itself receives minimal sunlight, so I guess that is working in my favor.

Depends on the type of canvas and ink used in the signature; acid-free, etc. Canvas in general will last much-much longer than any poster or print. It is a very secure way to preserve and protect any medium; paint or ink. It should not be necessary to put it under glass if it is not in direct UV light. I think you'll find some answers by searching "canvas vs. poster" or "canvas preservation"

He's talking about a print on canvas, not a painting so uv glass will not hurt it...only help it. If it were me, I'd still go with the uv glass. Chances are it's not on there now because of the extra price or, as said, it will be ok without it. But hey, roll your dice and take your chances.

Thanks for the input gents. The item is a Mike Trout 24x36.

I would like to get a UV for it, but I think the cost of the framing would be too much, especially if the canvas doesn't necessarily need it.
