We recommend that when framing, always ask for UV protected glass. Most ready-made frames from discount stores do not come with UV glass. It is not very expensive to go to your local glass or frame shop and purchase the glass separately. Avoid having your glass positioned directly against your prints as a permanent display option. Monitors are transmissive with regards to light and prints are reflective. This means that your prints will always look slightly different as the experience of viewing the image is different. We strive to replicate the original artwork. If you are having your prints framed by a professional framer they can put your prints in a press for a few seconds and your prints will flatten right away.
