I am new to the poster/frame craze, but I am about to get a few things framed most likely next week.
Should they 'dry-mount' the poster? or do you just tell them to be extra careful, flatten it out and frame it [behind glass]?
What are the proper procedures so to speak?
in my honest opinion, dry-mounting a poster is murder! lol i wouldn't suggest the dry-mount process if you can avoid it,...

Laser printed tickets are heat sensitive... That's why you can't leave them in the car or in in direct sunlight... They fade really quickly. So, if they tried to drymount them, then they would get f'ed up...
you can get around this problem by colour photocopying the stub, have done it and once framed you can't tell the difference
When I go to the framers what should I be telling them to do?
I dont want to be 'talked into anything' by people who are only looking out for themselves..and obviously want to make sure the poster stay in mint condition.. Any blemish would be very, very disappointing.
Re-sale value I am not too worried about, as these will be hung on my walls for god knows how long..I just want them to always look as good as they do right now and without taking any chances of fucking anything up..?..
actually he probably can, it's a definite long shot of course, but some people do sell their unused tickets/stubs on ebay. if anything you can check there from time to time if they can't find it good luck, hope all goes well
....not with the same row / seat!!!!
Like a word misplaced...nothing said...what a waste

Then I would say dry mount. The poster will always be absolutely flat and I don't think that process will damage your poster. Just don't tell the poster police! I don't dry mount, and I don't care about resale. I just don't like the idea of doing somethng that can't be reversed.

Yeah, I hear that..
with that in mind, I think no dry mounting for me..

Thanks.
But then, if you're always going to have it framed, what's the difference? I'm also hesitant to play my vinyl in case I damage it, so you shouldn't use me as your yardstick. Worse case, if I scratch my vinyl to hell I can always put it back in their sleeves in their storage and I'm no worse off than now, never playing them
Bit OT, but it's an analogy
P.S. I recently bought a nice-ish turntable so I will probably start playing them all (Benaroya, not sure...) at last!

jesus, now you have me thinking...you make some good points...hahaha...
but what if they fuck up during the dry mounting and ruin my poster...I just want it framed, whats with all this extra 'stuff' that they can do...just put it behind glass...ya know...
At least with the vinyl's you are the one handling them at every step. If you scratch them, at least you only have your self to blame...
I would hate to get a call from the framers saying they fucked up with the dry mounting and the poster is ruined...i would flip...out...

They won't fuck up your poster by dry-mounting it. What messed up the ticket was when they applied heat, the ink ran and colored the stub purplish. But there was no need to dry-mount the stub, that is where the mistake was made.

And even if they did, at least a poster is replaceable (especially if you didn't get it from the concert yourself therefore having sentimental value). A poster bought from 10C is just a poster, if they stuffed it then they could buy you a new one (whatever the cost).

Drymounting the posters will kill the resale value.
