Has anyone framed any posters with the ready made frames from Ikea? They come in some fairly large sizes with a matte that can be cut to size. I realize they arent as nice as custom colors but they are way cheaper.

    Actually yeah i got my Dublin one in a cheapy ikea silver frame. It looks OK but you get what you pay for obviously. If your not too fussy or strapped then go for it but i'm gonna get my poland and wembley poster in better frames tho (eventually)

    i have a bunch of those frames they work fine.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    its a bit tricky to get them in and straight. also, i HIGHLY doubt these are acid free or whatever, not the safest for your art, but it works.

    totally, it really all depends on the print.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    Looks like I'll be buying about a dozen then! I really have to get the walls fixed up.

    First one to get framed will be Hawaii. Then I will just pick and choose a few to do. I really like the Kenyon Hall and hope to see it by Tuesday. I have a bunch of posters that are just laying flat. Only been to a few shows but I really want to get some other posters on the wall even if I wasnt there.
