Finally got around to framing my Boston Mumford and a few other posters. I like consistency, so the full color images get 3 layer matting (white/black/white) and the neutral colored posters get 2 layer matting (black/white).
Nice....!!! inspiring...haha

Not the best picture, but this got this guy framed. 23/100. Huge thanks to @elwayvedder for the hookup as well.
6/15/19 was my wedding night, and our honeymoon is in Italy (with a stop in Florence) so the poster was just PERFECT. So happy to add it to my collection.

I missed out on this DMB poster at the show but I was able to track one down a few years ago. Next on my list for framing...
This is definitely a well regarded one. Im getting ready to leave for the show tonight and I already have purchased tonight's print. If you have a warehouse ticket, you get an email at 3pm to order and pay for the poster and then they ship. It's a nice benefit. PJ should think about it.

Is there an issue if I place a screen print in an off-the-shelf type of frame from a say, michaels or hobby lobby?
I have such a backlog of prints to hang, but with all sorts of kids, mortgage, vacation funds, etc.... I just cant justify a $2-$4 hundred dollar hit times how many posters I would like to hang.

Not at all, especially if you're not hanging in direct sun. At the end of the day, you're going to turn to dust before the prints do.
I do my own mat cutting and framing and I use the 60 dollar Michaels frames, but wait until they are 50 to 60% off. Mat cones from hobby lobby at 10 bucks a sheet, so a job is never more than 50 all in. Here's my last. Feet not included..
I've also started painting the frames which opens more possibilities.

Thanks! I may try that. That looks great. Would add another little hobby and make it more rewarding. What tool do you use to cut the mats? So your print is 18x24 and you decide to use 1.5" of mat you are looking at getting a 21x27 frame?
I am/was concerned with ruining the prints, and no, they wouldnt be in the sun. As long as it isnt some known thing that the backing eats the paper or the print deteriorates on the glass used in those frames, Im fine.

That's a 22x28 I'm sure, which leaves a perfect 2 inches for a standard 18x24. That size makes for an easy job. I use the Logan cutter that maxes at 32 inches I believe. I used a50% coupon when I got it, so probably cost 70 bucks. There are larger ones as well, so depends on if you want to knock out those 12x36 inch Klausens. There's also archive adhesive on Amazon that secure the prints but never actually touch the print.
