A little care goes a long way with a fine art print.
Here's how I look after mine, and what I'd suggest for yours.
Keep it out of direct sun, and away from heat and damp. A north-facing wall in full light will fade a print faster than you'd think.
Choose a wall that can properly hold the weight of the frame.
When you're handling an unframed print, hold it by the edges rather than the surface. The oils on your hands can mark the paper over time.
Cotton gloves do the job if you're moving it often.
Dust with a soft, dry cloth now and then, nothing abrasive, nothing wet. If it's framed behind glass, the same applies to the glass itself.
If you're framing it yourself, UV-protective glass is worth the extra cost. It's the biggest single thing that slows fading over the years.
That's really it. Treated this way, your print should hold its colour and stay close to how it looked the day it arrived, for a long time to come.
