Poster Framing Question

Is it better to flatten the poster yourself before taking it to the poster shop for framing, or do they have better methods of flattening it if it has been in a poster tube for awhile?? Does it take longer when you take it in for framing and it hasn't been flattened first, and how long does it take to flatten a poster?

Do you want archival framing or do you not care?
If you don't care, then dry mount it and then you don't have to worry about flattening.
Otherwise, I flatten my prints myself until they are completely flat or as close as they can get to flat. Some framers have a vacuum they stick prints in for flattening(no change in temp and such) and if you get your stuff framed with them, they should do it for free... and all depending how long the print has been rolled for the time on flattening.
