How UV resistant are lithographs, giclee

yes of course! I love the paper where you feel the structure though and that feels study.

Are giclee printed on better paper overall versus litho for same price?

At Treehouse at least they seem to be. They all seem to be 100% archival cotton rag versus just 100 lb paper (not a lot of info). Honestly, I am surprised they are the same price.

I was going to put this in the Irrational thread where the subject of flat shipping came, but this seems a better place. I promised pictures of Odd City's flat shipping a few weeks back, didn't get my delivery until earlier this week though.
Here are some crappy cell phone pics:

The whole package is more than an inch thick, maybe 3 cm.



The top flaps overlap each other and come about 2/3 of the way across. Everything inside is in a big plastic bag, taped shut.









The print itself is in the middle, sandwiched between 2 sheets of heavy cardboard on each side.



The print is covered with a sheet of kraft paper, secured at all 4 corners.



Haven't had a single damaged print from these guys. Out of 6 so far.

I'm going to try to catch an AP variant.
