I went to Micheal's and the frame chick said that I don't really need to worry about them being rolled up as matting/setting the posters will flatten them.
Makes sense, but is this true?
I took mine out of the tubes and they are hanging out now...
It's been suggested to me that even after flattening, keeping them rolled for too long can lead to an irreversible rippling even after framing... however, I don't know if that's really true, or if it only applies to shittier quality paper, or if that is just when you don't let it flatten long enough, or what. I am just hoping it doesn't happen to me or you!
I have 6-7 posters that have been in tubes for a few years. :fp: I think it's time to flatten those out.
According to a framer, here is the best way to flatten and store a print.
1. Let it "rest" out of the tube for a few days or a week. Just let it naturally unroll a bit. Trying to flatten a poster right out of the tube can damage it.
2. Begin to flatten it by using bean bag weights on each of the corners. Let it sit like that for a day or two. If you don't have bean bags you can use small ziplock bags filled with salt.
3. Then, place the print (it should be getting close to flat) between 2 acid free sheets of foam core (available at a framing shop). Place some weight on the "sandwich" and let it flatten for a week or so.
Ok...with respect to all the sound advice above, I would like to share my way of flattening a poster which only takes about five minutes. I came up with it about ten years ago and it works perfectly. Someone else may do the same thing and may have already mentioned it but I haven't seen it here so thought I'd share.
Before I begin, I will say upfront that my method does involve rolling the poster counter to the way it got its memory but after doing this with well over 75 posters (my own, brother, sister and friends) of varying types of paper and ink, I can say I've never had a single problem (and I'm an anal mother fucker).
I outlined this on the boards in '06 and included pictures but I don't think there is anyway to find it now. Anyway, it's pretty simple. I start with an over-sized poster tube (much bigger in diameter than the ones 10C uses) and a large sheet of paper (usually the paper they ship in). Make an about a three inch fold at the top of the paper or just use the fold they've already made when they shipped it and tape the paper to the tube. Be liberal with your tape. (Fuck, this is hard without pictures.)
Now you've got the tube at one end and the paper lying flat on the floor with the flap (fold) facing up at you. Unfurl that fucking poster carefully (with a friend's help preferably) and wrangle one end under the flap. Make sure to get her all the way in there nice and snug. Also make sure you've put something on the other end to keep it flat on the floor. Now the whole poster should be upside down and flat on the paper with the image facing the floor. Start rolling the tube over the poster like a slow steam roller (be sure to keep it rolling straight).
Once you've rolled the whole thing up, tape up the over-hanging paper to itself. Leave it there for 5 or so minutes and open it up. If you feel some resistance while opening, tape her back up and wait a few more minutes. Try again and when there is no resistance, you'll have a totally flat poster with no cracks or warpage because you're not an asshole. You were slow and deliberate and used a wide enough tube to not cause much stress.
I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you try it! If you're nervous, I suggest starting with an Ames Jon Tester Missoula print if you haven't already used it to test Bradbury's understanding of fahrenheit.

Upload pictures to Photobucket, edit/resize picture to less than 480 high and 640 wide, check replace original, press save, copy/paste img code into forum (or right click on the picture and click copy url then click [img]on the forum and paste) and hopefully after about two hours or more of trying, it finally posts. It is very frustrating, but what a sense of accomplishment when it does finally work. Hope you are more successful than I am!

I just got my hands on the PJ20 Billboard print and I want to get this professionally framed. I am a complete noob to custom frame jobs, wondering if I could get some advice on things like glass, mounting, mats, etc. How much would you say is the avg. cost for one poster?
thanks!

Having it done at a shop or ordering a a setup from say americanframe.com and taking care of it yourself? Glass is expensive, UV plexi is cheaper, regular plexi is even cheaper(if you are putting it up in say a basement no real need for the UV). Number of mats, metal or wood frame, how ornate the frame is, everything adds up.
PS If they tell you that they have to "drymount it" find a new store.

thanks! I would like to have it done at a shop. There a smaller local place around where i live and michael's. I've heard mixed reviews about michael's, so I'd be a little nervous giving them the billboard print.
I'm hanging the poster in a bedroom with a lot of natural sunlight so I've heard going the conservation glass route is the best way to go (probably more expensive)
What are the other mounting options if they don't drymount it?

The green mat was the right choice... So happy with it!
You got that RIGHT...LOVE that shade of green, it's PERFECT for this poster!!!

VERY HAPPY with the way this one turned out!!

I'm a bit late to thread, but I have to say, this is an awesome piece of memorabilia and really well-done. Congrats!
Of course, it makes me even more pissed that I missed out on this poster at the show and the subsequent 10c sale :evil:
I actually had the idea (while standing in line for 5 hours outside of Wrigley) to do exactly this sort of thing, but on a smaller scale and with the pennant instead of a show poster. Alas, I missed out on the pennant as well, but I'm hoping it makes its way to the shop at some point. Would've also been cool with the patches they were selling post-show as well. I did have the opportunity to buy those, but for some unexplained reason, I passed :fp:

this is totally sick!
Upload pictures to Photobucket, edit/resize picture to less than 480 high and 640 wide, check replace original, press save, copy/paste img code into forum (or right click on the picture and click copy url then click [img]on the forum and paste) and hopefully after about two hours or more of trying, it finally posts. It is very frustrating, but what a sense of accomplishment when it does finally work.

I just got my hands on the PJ20 Billboard print and I want to get this professionally framed. I am a complete noob to custom frame jobs, wondering if I could get some advice on things like glass, mounting, mats, etc. How much would you say is the avg. cost for one poster?
thanks!
...
Having it done at a shop or ordering a a setup from say americanframe.com and taking care of it yourself? Glass is expensive, UV plexi is cheaper, regular plexi is even cheaper(if you are putting it up in say a basement no real need for the UV). Number of mats, metal or wood frame, how ornate the frame is, everything adds up.
PS If they tell you that they have to "drymount it" find a new store.
nice!
still kicking myself at not picking that one up at the show!
Who is wrong and who’s right
thanks! I would like to have it done at a shop. There a smaller local place around where i live and michael's. I've heard mixed reviews about michael's, so I'd be a little nervous giving them the billboard print.
I'm hanging the poster in a bedroom with a lot of natural sunlight so I've heard going the conservation glass route is the best way to go (probably more expensive)
What are the other mounting options if they don't drymount it?
...
The green mat was the right choice... So happy with it!
Love this poster. Has to be my favorite.
Gold mat works perfect! Going to look great in the kitchen
some great stuff there
You got that RIGHT...LOVE that shade of green, it's PERFECT for this poster!!!
I may have to "borrow" that picture ledge idea Kelly posted a few weeks ago for my living room...It looks SWEET!!
I'm running REALLY LOW on Wallspace too :twisted:

I'm a bit late to thread, but I have to say, this is an awesome piece of memorabilia and really well-done. Congrats!
Of course, it makes me even more pissed that I missed out on this poster at the show and the subsequent 10c sale :evil:
I actually had the idea (while standing in line for 5 hours outside of Wrigley) to do exactly this sort of thing, but on a smaller scale and with the pennant instead of a show poster. Alas, I missed out on the pennant as well, but I'm hoping it makes its way to the shop at some point. Would've also been cool with the patches they were selling post-show as well. I did have the opportunity to buy those, but for some unexplained reason, I passed :fp:
Anyways, nice job again!
My office wall as of today. Now to make room for 4 more...
