10. Live in the now! You benefit most from enjoying your new limited edition art right away. Framing it as soon as you own it allows you to both enjoy it immediately and protect it in the best way possible. Buying fine fly fishing prints and then letting them never see the light of day is a poor way to show your fishing compadres that you also have great aesthetic taste, but strangely, it happens.

9. Keep it under wraps. (Huh? - I thought you just told me to live in the now!) Until you're actually ready to 'live in the now', yes - keep it "hermetically sealed" in the shrink wrap or packaging it came in until it's in the hands of a capable framer. There's no good reason for dust, dander, fingerprints, spills and sneezes to defile a nice limited edition print before it sees the dignity of a frame. Ever.

8. Seek professional help. Go ahead and follow #10 above but don't get goofy and try to do it yourself if you have no experience framing. Remember, if the art was made by a pro, it deserves to be framed by a pro.

7. And then seek some more professional help. Get a second opinion; quote. The swankiest frame shop in town might do great work for a premium, but that doesn't mean there isn't a reputable smaller shop or discount framer that can't do a comparable job for less. Once a frame shop has recommended a moulding or two, go ahead and write down the moulding manufacturers' name(s) and moulding numbers, and see what someone else can do with it. Make sure you're comparing apples to apples though.

6. Glass matters. The Ferrari of picture framing glass is Tru Vue's Museum Glass, and if you specify it you may well pay more for it than the cost of the print itself. While you may not want to invest that much, you don't want to use the cheap stuff found on most department store ready-made photo frames, either. I've seen Tru Vue's product sample displays in just about every frame shop I've ever step foot in. Make sure you get the framer's opinion on what will work best for you, and know what you're getting when it comes to the glass. Regardless of what you choose, I always recommend UV protection. It will do more to preserve your limited print's quality than anything else (except #1 below).

5. Don't be tacky. While plasti-tack and push pins were all the rage for hanging band posters and what-not on cork boards and cinderblock walls in your college dorm room, these things are no-no's for grown-ups who want to display limited edition artwork. Do not hang your limited edition fly fishing art this way or Poseidon will find you and release the Cracken on you.

4. To mat or not to mat? Some art will look better with a mat and a frame; some may look more like a painting with just a wide profile frame and no mat. Use a combination or your intuition and Consideration #8 above to find the best option for you. The right solution will present itself but it's always subjective.

3. Frame Styles. Along with #4 above, this one's subjective. But if you plan on keeping your limited edition angling art around a long time, please remember that today's bold framing fashion could be tomorrow's kitsch. You can't go wrong if you find something that both matches your decor and has that classic stood-the-test-of-time quality to boot. The place it will hang may be a consideration as well - discuss it with your framer.

2. Let there be light. The best you can do for a fine print is frame it well and display it in a location where it can enrich your life. If you can display it with a nice directional recessed light from the ceiling or a track light, it will really stand out the way art is meant to. A room full of natural light is great, too.

1. Don't let there be light. 'Number one rule for displaying any two-dimensional art whether it's an original painting, or limited edition print is: keep it out of direct sunlight. All pigments fade in the face of direct sunlight. UV protective glass notwithstanding - if you place art where the sun will strike it head on (or nearly so), day in and day out, it's going to fade (just like your Big Wheel that one summer when you were a kid), and it won't be the artist's fault. However, if you avoid this, (and it's actually fairly easy) and you've had your print framed behind a UV protective glass, you can count on your limited edition giclee print to last more than a lifetime without any visible fading.
