Thanks for your input. Much appreciated. What I am curious about it how to go about figuring out the dimensions once you add a matte to it. Anybody else have suggestions?
At the start of the process you can put the dimensions of your poster in...then when you pick the mat and how much mat you want showing it will do the conversions for you. It's really quite simple. Just do a run-through, and I think you'll be able to sort it out.
you got to go professional on these posters, they look so much better. My borgata I went with a black metal frame with a double matte. Black with a pink underlie. Looks awesome. Check out my posting on the first page of the thread. I only pay about $55 per picture for mine and they are done professionally.
He is alive but feels absolutely nothing.
So is he?
When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him.
By nine he had deciphered the illusion trading magic for fact.
No tradebacks...
So this is what it's like to be an adult
If he only knew now what he knew then...

That is a great idea. I'm going to do that this week because a lot of mine are in tubes. Thanks for the tip.
I had over 80 tubes in closets, under beds, behind couches, they were coming out my ass! I just figured that what the hell, there is no enjoyment in having ugly brown tubes all over the place. When I finally got the plexiglass, and opened all the tubes, I had about 6 or 7 posters that I didn't even know were in my collection. Next is a 24"x36" presentation case for all the ones that will not be in frames. I find that the best way to show them off. I just got back from Arizona today and when I was getting a tattoo out there, I saw the racks that they have their drawings on, just like the ones at record stores for posters. The ones that are on hinges and swing out, I thought that would be a pretty cool way to show the ones not framed. Anyone know about how much one of these would cost?- Maybe I should start a company specifically for showing off Pearl Jam posters, after Santos fucked us all up the last month or so, there are a lot of people looking for ways to show off their collection besides expressobeans. Anyone want to be partners?

I know that expressobeans is pretty correct on dimensions, but I have found that on some of the older posters, the dimensions are off a little. I'm not sure if they were just cut differently or what. But I HIGHLY suggest for all you lazy people to get out the tape measure and make sure of your exact size, if it's off by a 1/8 or 1/4 inch, you could mess up the whole framing job and have to reorder. That happened on my Chicago 98, and I had to fork over another $33 to fix it. It's worth the minute to be positive of YOUR poster dimensions, not just what most poster sizes are.
Here are a few random shots of a few posters - enjoy - http://photobucket.com/albums/f266/locolion/?sc=3
I just bit the bullet and got a HOB on ebay. It was a must have for me. The most I have spent on a poster. $90 and shipping...I think that's not too bad for a poster that was $40 at that special show. What do you guys think?? Also have you seen an awesome frame job for this poster yet? Thanks

Did you ever email Mr. Klausen what was up with that test print?
Did you ever email Mr. Klausen what was up with that test print?
Yes I did and I gave him all the info. I havn't heard from him back yet. Hopefully he is busy and will email me soon. I really need more info on that poster. The test print was my first framing job. I think I might get it re done by a professional. I think that poster is worthy of the 150-200 professional job. Thanks again for the email address.

I was thinking of going to Michaels--they had a coupon in Sunday's paper for 70% off on 3 custom frame orders.
I saw that too and would love to jump on the deal but I'm not ready to yet. Some members have expressed concerns over Michaels employees being young and inexperienced and possibly damaging your poster or stealing it because they know what it is. I don't know about that but I guess there is always the risk. I haven't seen any teenage employees in the michaels by me. I'm happy with my frame and the price. I'm really happy that my wife allowed me to hang it on our wall.

Hmmm..I think most teenagers are too busy listening to 50 cent. ;>
anyone using a mac and trying to use americanframe......im having a difficult time selecting the mat color.........can anyone help me figure out how to change it b/c i really dont want a pink mat........................:(
Has anyone seen a really nice framing (with mattes) job on the Kitchener poster? I really want to get mine framed but I'm not convinced that there is a great matte combo out there.
Any help is much appreciated ...
pink and brown is your best bet
hey, did you end up staying away from the dry mounting?

Did Michael's dry-mount your poster (as someone else mentioned they do)??
So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me

I fiddled around on american frames last night with the kitchner poster and some color combos.
I came up with using a white metal frame, and a 1 inch Really Red matte.
I liked it, try it for yourself to get the idea. I think im gonna go with that combo.
And so you see, I have come to doubt All that I once held as true I stand alone without beliefs The only truth I know is you.
Did Michael's dry-mount your poster (as someone else mentioned they do)??
No. They ask you what you want done. They used some things on the corners. Ask them what all of your options are so you get everything you want, mounting, type of glass, etc. I really wish that I was ready to take advantage of that deal. I only have one of my posters in a frame and now, it's like I need to have all of them done right away. I'm glad there is so much activity in these framing threads because I love seeing what people have done and what they have.
anyone wanna help me with americanframe........i dont get this kinda stuff at all......im at the part with the mat measurements. I have one mat, so what do i do......also what do they mean by opening shape???

I believe opening shape, is the shape of the matte around the poster itself. You can either have it squared(norm) or oval shaped at the four corners.
With one matte, just decide how long u want the matte to be from the frame itself. I usually go with 2" with just a single matte.
