Properly cared for, a giclee print will last at least 100 years without significant fading. If your giclee print is framed and hung in a location outside of direct sunlight and protected from moisture, it can last even longer.

• Care for your giclee prints the same way you care for an original piece of art.
• Carefully remove it from the packing materials, keeping it in the protective sleeve until you are ready to hang it.
• If your print arrives rolled, take care when removing it from the tube. Place it on a flat, hard, clean surface to relax. Leave it in its packing sleeve and place clean flat books on top of it to help it relax. Do not use an iron, steam, or moisture to flatten it!
• Avoid denting or creasing the paper during handling.
• Do not clean your print with a damp cloth, water, or solvents. Wipe off dust with a microfiber cloth.
• Do not use tape, glues or spray mounts to adhere your print to another surface.
• Do not wipe dust off with your hands. Instead use a microfiber cloth or a photographer's lens brush.
• Handle with clean, dry hands. White cotton gloves are the standard of care with conservationists but a microfiber cloth like the one that comes with eye glasses is also good. The goal is to keep the oils on your fingers away from the print.
• Do not expose your print to direct sunlight or heat.
• Do not hang in a moist space, like a bathroom.
• When storing your print, keep in an acid-free box or print sleeve.
• Frame only with acid-free, archival-quality materials. Seal the back of the frame as well.
