I had a quick question, does it matter what frame you get?
A premade frame is it the same quality as a custom frame that has UV glass and other things?
Would it be better to shell out the extra crash for a custom frame with special glass to keep the print in pristine condition?

A premade frame, unless is says otherwise is likely to have cheaper glass which will offer less protection. It all depends on how well you want the art to be preserved as there are varying levels of UV protection and indeed reflection. The most expensive is museum quality I think where it stops pretty much all UV and reduces reflections so much that you can see the art with clarity. Even if your prints are not in direct sunlight, the light from around will over time affect the prints.
It's all a quesion how much you want to protect your art. I have a couple of originals that will live behind the best quality I can get, and my prints will vary, the rarer ones will be in decent glass. I will probably get premade frames or the cheapest glass for my art that wouldn't be hard to replace.....or postcards etc.
