Anyone have any advice/success on self matting? I'm sure it's been discussed here, but a lot to go through. Welcome to PM me if you have so we don't bog down the thread. Thanks in advance.

There are a few of us here. I've been doing my own for about ten years to great success. I don't have any cool circular tools, but straight cuts, double mats, embedded tickets are all pretty straightforward. Huge money saver. I probably have 40 prints framed in various combinations of my house and office. Had I paid for all of those to be done, it wouild have been a fortune. If you have questions on tools, people here will help, or as you say DM.

Thanks. My wife claims I lack patience, so she is handling this project. Mind if I ping you on a couple questions?

First one done from this round of shows. Will knock out SHN tonight.
Looks great -- did you end up doing it @ home?
I was going to do it myself, but then opted to try Art to Frame. Was super easy ordering and fast delivery. Would highly recommend.
Thanks - so you flattened and then just popped in?
What was the total cost on that?
Yeah man, so I had it flattening. Once they showed up, I took the backing off and peeled the film over both sides of the glass. Put poster in, backing back on and done.
Both frames (one for Ohana & SHN), both doubled matted and delivery was $174.

I like Art to Frames. I have used that for many of my posters. They come out great. I did pay framers for my Pendleton Global Citizen poster and an Ames 98 that I have. I wanted to frame those with museum glass, etc. Those two frames ended up costing me over $700. But they look spectacular. Otherwise, Art to Frames is my go to.

But yes the print is a bit horrifying the more you look at it.
