Most ready made frames ikea or other are quite greasy, so you should always have some distance between the glass and print!
Almost all Ikea frames got thin crappy plastic instead of glass, the back and passepartouts usually are not acid free.
Otherwise, there usually are quite a lot of low budget ready made frames out there. I have tried a few but it usually end up with me being irritated that it isn't art/museum glass and regretting that I didn't just paid a little extra to get it right.

Have some smaller items, postcards, and some not so valuable pieces I would love to have up but wouldn't love to pay tons to frame. Thanks in advance!

Ive recently got a print professionally framed which was an eye opener, and have found the exact dimensions of the frame on easy frame. So I'm going to order one exactly the same size for another print and see what they're like side by side
I'll post pictures when i get it sorted
