Watermark woodcut prints were printed on rice paper and used to be mounted with traditional Chinese painting. But strictly speaking, an original printed matter should have traces of hand rubbing on both sides, showing the aesthetic feeling of the imprint, which is one of the signs of the original. Once installed, the trace is gone, which is really a pity. Therefore, a relatively simple mounting method is to lay the work flat, then use a large piece of white cardboard to fold the middle line in half, dig a frame with the same size as the picture in the middle of the upper paper, then put the original printed matter on the lower paper opposite to the frame, fold the upper and lower papers in half and close them flat, and a printed matter will be mounted.

Through hard work and creation, we have finished a print work. How can I prove that I made the original print? The autograph is the best explanation. If a handprint does not have the author's signature, it will be considered as not original, or not printed by the author himself, and its artistic value will be greatly reduced. According to international practice, sign with a pencil. The format is: near the bottom of the picture, sign from left to right. First of all, the number of rubbings should be written in the form of scores, that is, the total number of prints, then the title and edition, and the author's name and creation year should be signed on the right, instead of writing the year, month and day. Children's prints should be marked with age and gender after their names.

After the watermark woodcut rubbings are completed, the plate should be carefully protected so as to continue rubbings in the future. After each rubbing, carefully scrub the layout with a big shading pen dipped in water, brush off the residual floating color on the layout, wash and dry it, wrap it in old newspapers and put it in a cool and dry place. Special attention should be paid not to place it in damp and direct sunlight to prevent the layout from degumming and deformation.

The best way to preserve printed matter is to flatten it and put it flat in the cupboard. Never fold it. Large-sized works can be rolled up and sealed, or stored vertically or horizontally, and cannot be squeezed. Can not be placed in a humid place or in direct sunlight, in case the work is moldy, brittle and faded.
