    Hey people! I know i am very late the party here, but would love some help/thoughts/guidance. Through the help of a great person (brian austin green (wink)), i have obtained u2/pj hawaii and will be getting framed for my may bday. $ will be no object. I will be kept out of the loop until i open her up. So i want my wife and family to not screw it up!! Anyone have any pics/ideas as to what we can do?? Michaels did a good job on soto montreal, so im ok using them. Also from mid-state ny if that helps. Thanks for your time. Feel free to pm if you wanna do it that way. And pj, keep up the great tour!!!

    I'll be very interested in that also, mine is still sat in my portfolio waiting to be framed!

    I use black on them all - usually like to use double matte with different colors - boring but they are all in the same room, for the sake of consistency :) OCD

    I do the same thing, Buck. Same frame & black top mat on all, then an accent color bottom mat to match the poster.

    I've done the exact same thing on all of mine. I've gotten 8 framed so far, and getting ready to send a 9th to the framer. I like the consistent look across all the frames.

    Anyone have any ideas on the Quebec poster yet? I have never framed a poster before and would like some ideas.

    I'm going to Hobby Lobby this week and asking them about framing my Greenville poster. I'm hoping they dont break the bank on me. I know Michaels can get a little pricey.

    Hobby Lobby is very reasonable. Especially if you use one of their standard sized frames like 18 x 24. They always have a 40% off coupon as well. If you look back a few pages on this thread, I framed the EV Chicago poster for only $75 and it looks great.

    What acid free paper do you guys store the posters in prior to framing?? Need some recommendations. The flipper I bought from didn't roll in paper AND rolled the poster backwards :angry: I was two away before posters sold out :cry:

    For storage I use these glassine sheets, and they work great.

    Those are very thin and I would only recommend using them if you do not plan on handling your prints or going through your flat file often.
    I would recommend 4mil mylar sleeves or in the least 3mil. These ones are about the best Ive found since talas.com no longer stocks them.

    Had Pitt 13' and Cincy 14' up for a while. Just got back the Columbia today, that's why it's still in the wrap and not on the wall. Kept them simple with a little color on the inside edge of the mats. Greenville, Raleigh and EV Albuquerque, NM coming up soon!

    I got a Toronto 2 poster I need to get framed. Anyone in Toronto (I am in North York) can you recommend somewhere that can do a bang on job?

    My advice is wait for Michaels to have a 40 or 50% off sale.
