I'm looking at framing some of my pearl jam posters. For those of you that have framed you're own what websites did you use to get supplies and is it easy to do.

    My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12

    I've used both framesbymail.com and americanframe.com. And yes, they are extremely easy to do. Measure your poster up to 1/16", choose a frame, pick your backing (archival, etc.), and choose your plexi (non-glare, UV, archival, etc). If you order a metal frame, you put together with parts provided. Wood frames come assembled. Thats about it.

    That's a good business to be in. I had a Wellstone memorial print framed for my wife by a local shop, and I think it was like $170. I'm sure there is plenty of skill involved, but I would think you would be able to pump quite a few of those out with experience.

    Yeah, it is... when suppliers come through when you expect them to.

    I got a poster that measures just 10X26 and I went and asked Michaels at a 50% off sale and they estimated $140 or $108 without UV protected glass. I think both seem high and was wondering if I could get it done cheaper or if it is easy enough to order everything from americanframes.com or something when I don't know much about framing.
