Giclée prints are renowned for their quality and extreme longevity, which is why they’re displayed in museums, art galleries and private collections. This is why we always say it’s best to buy your print already framed, as this will avoid it getting damaged. If you’d prefer to buy a standalone print or use your own framer, try to avoid leaving it rolled for too long
To uncurl or flatten a print, carefully remove it from the postal tube whilst keeping it covered in the protective acid-free tissue paper. Lay it out on a clean, flat surface, image side up. With the tissue paper covering the print’s image, place some smooth, flat objects (like books) on the ends and middle of the print. Let your giclée print relax over-night and it should be nice and flat. Avoid uncurling it by rolling the print the opposite way to receiving it, as you can easily crease it if done incorrectly.
Having a frame that is FSC certified and created from 100% acid-free materials is vital. It keeps the artwork in mint condition across the years and ensures the colours stay true. If you don’t opt for one of our frames, make sure you buy one of the same quality, otherwise, the materials can damage the print over time and sunlight could fade the colours.
