To Frame or Not To Frame?
Your prints on fine art paper should be framed to protect and maintain the artwork. Poster paper prints can be framed to protect the art, or hung directly on the wall, treated like a poster. The adhesive-backed fabric prints, need not be framed. They are designed to be applied directly to the wall, door or other relatively smooth, dry surface. The adhesive-backed fabric prints can also be relocated, as a child grows, from above the crib or changing table, to the wall near the bed or playroom area, where your growing child can get a closer look. They can also be relocated when you move or your child changes rooms; just save the paper backing for re-use.
How Do I Frame My Gorgeous Print?
Some of our prints are standard sizes and can be framed quite easily with readily available store bought frames. If your print was shipped flat, use the backer board that came with your print on the back and the mat that comes with your frame. If your print is larger, it will have been shipped, rolled in a box, with no backer board. An odd or large size print will require a custom frame, which can be pricey. Custom frames can be purchased online or at a local frame shop. You can also order frames to size, or purchase them as a kit to put together yourself. It is best to keep your print away from any direct sunlight, so UV glass would be a smart choice.

What Does "Giclée" Mean?
Interesting question. Giclée (pronounced jee'clay) is an art print made with an ink jet printer using the highest archival-quality inks and surfaces. The word comes from French, meaning to spray, which is exactly what an ink jet printer does. The term giclée originated in the early 1990s by a print maker whose aim was to distinguish the higher quality prints he was making from the negatively perceived term "inkjet." Over time, the usage of the word has evolved to be a catch all term for quality and best printing practices, using archival inks and printing with an increased resolution and color gamut. Archival inks are designed to resist fading and the chemical composition allows the ink to hold fast to the printed surface. Archival ink will not "run" even if exposed to a moderate amount of moisture.
