Giclée prints should be treated with the same care as any piece of fine art. It is important to be aware that sunlight can cause permanent damage to anything: car paint, upholstery, our skin, original paintings, and Giclée prints, all if exposed for enough time, over periods of time. Invisible ultraviolet rays from sunlight and fluorescent light will cause the most damage to all of the above. Artwork, original or reproduction, should never be placed where it will be exposed to direct sunlight. Giclée prints that are done on canvas do not need to be framed under glass, however should be treated with the same care that you would use with an original oil painting. Simply use a very soft cloth of feather duster to lightly dust the surface of it when it requires it. Your print has been coated with a U.V.. protector, which inhibits the damaging effects of ultraviolet light, dust, and humidity. You would not use paper mats with a Giclée on canvas, as those always have to be framed under glass. Consult a reputable framer to assist you in choosing the proper framing for your print, so that you may enjoy it for years to come!
