yup, museum mount and UV glass. Cost about a buck thirty.
A little steep for me but I paid for peace of mind, or I'd like to think that.
I see you do framing... what's your going rate for a custom frame of this size? Next time I might throw you a bone.
I problably would have quoted you around $100... I split the shipping cost so it would have been close to what you spent.
When you say Museum Mount, what did they actually say they were going to do with the print? Should just be acid free backing, no adhesives or anything, and spacers… you have those right?

I'd better! I asked for a completely reversible mount and they said they would do a dry museum mount. I should see space between the glass and poster, right?

:( :( Ok I never use the term "Dry Museum Mount". Dry Mount is bad... if they dry mounted it (which is a mount that uses heat activated film) take it back ASAP and tell them you want reimbursement for your poster and a full refund because the framer did not properly inform you that "dry mounting" your poster kills any monetary value it may have. Now that is if they actually mounted it to the board... If you care open it up and look. I’m crossing my fingers your framer was using some weirdo term for acid free backing only... you may be able to call them and have them look at the work ticket to see what was actually done… was this a mom and pop shop or a chain?
This is for my brother his birthday is next month as you can see , it was his second Pearl Jam show. It's not done yet but I just brought it home today to finish...
Looks good but IMO a mat would not have made it anymore busy, unless if by busy he ment colorful and thus did not know what colors to try to match with it. But looks good and not a bad price if done right.

Yeah, I had the same thought, but truthfully I like it without a mat. I was dead set on getting a mat, and didn't expect the recommendation not to go with one. The guy framing it could have made more money by matting it, so I respected his opinion not to mat it. And again, thiis would have just been too big with a mat to be placed anywhere but on a huge wall. I was suprirsed how good it looked without the mat, actually. It's a keeper.

this was done at one of the most reputable framer's in my town. they specifically told me it was not going to affect the value of the print and it could be undone. I sent them an email to reiterate their process so I should find out tomorrow. All museum mounts are inherently 'dry mounts' aren't they? The museum designation means that it's reversible from my limited knowledge. As opposed to straight dry mounting which is the heat process that you describe.

Let me know... there shouldnt have been any mounting at all... the pressure from the spacers and foam core will hold the print in place...

I dunno... they mentioned something about using corner type mounts? I got the impression the corners of the poster slid into the corner mounts and were held via pressure as you describe.
Oh well, the damage is done at this point if it was mounted incorrectly... still looks good and I'm not planning on getting rid of it any time soon. Still would piss me off if they jacked it up thinking it was just a $30 poster... but hey, maybe that's all it really is in the big picture.

Well if they used what I know them to be called which is "conservation corners" then all is good... that is the best way to mount a print when matting. If they used corners and spacers you should be able to see part of the corners under the spacers. There is no reason to use them in this case though. But from what you have said thus far it sounds ok... sorry to get you worried, I just hate to hear about bad frame jobs that people pay good money for .

called my framer today and he reassured me that this museum mount was completely reversible. Something along the lines of a japanese starch glue? I read online and it seems that any quality museum dry mount recommends that as the adhesive of choice.
So whatever... I got my HI Klausen framed and I'm stoked.

Nori Paste... It is reversible but it was un needed in this case since the glass and spacers hold the print in place. No need for glue of any kind. Request that if you frame again without any mat. Glad your poster is ok. It looks great.
has anyone ever framed their stickers before? I have a pretty sweet collection of stickers that I'd like to get done and can't decide if i want to frame them individually in little frames or one ginormous frame. Any ideas?

Didn't frame them, but turned them into magnets and their on the front of my kegerator.
Does anyone have a pic of the 2003 Council Bluffs Ames framed? There was one earlier in this thread but the photobucket link is now dead.
I took it into a framer and they suggested a black frame with a black matte. I wanted to see what other people have done with this print before I make my decision. Thanks.
Edited to add link to poster in case anyone would like to offer suggestions on a matte color.

Prices are amazing too!!!
I gotta pimp you out more!!
