    i framed my blue eV east coast poster and asked for double matte and i wanted the matte to go up to the black and not show any white, but they have white showing anyway. also, i think i want the darker matte to be bigger i think.. maybe 2 inches instead of one... i dunno, all i know is that i didnt ask for that white to be there.

    what should i do? should i just go back and complain (but in a nice way of course), should i just live with it? would they charge me a lot for sort of redoing it? any help would be great :)

    awww maybe you should have given the framer a pic of your boobs!!! :eek: sorry i hadd to! :D

    i think the poster looks pretty radd, leave it!

    if YOU don't like it or are unhappy...you definitely should say so. personally, i LIKE the white border showing and that would be my preference. i agree the outer mat could definitely be bigger...tis a common peeve of mine, most people don't get their outer mats large enough. i would personally have gone for 2.5-3". however, i do think overall your frame/mat job looks good. also, if you have none of your specifications in writing, could be difficult. either way, it's good to speak up. a reputable business wants to know if their customers are satisfied or disssatisfied, and they may work something out with you. even if they don't...tis a good lesson learned for the future. :)


    good luck and enjoy it!

    Didn't the framer show you what it looked like before you left? My framer always unwraps it and makes sure i'm happy with it before i leave...i assume to prevent a situation like your's from happening.

    I like the way your poster is framed but my opinion doesn't matter. If YOU don't like it, take it back! Especially if they didn't do as you asked and didn't show you the finished product before you left the shop.

    boys boys boys... there's enough of me to go around! :D that is, until gary slips that ring on my finger ;)

    as for all the legitimate responses, i told him i wanted the first matte to the black, they said ok, reaffirmed it, asked me again, i said yes, to the black, i said what i want was to the black, a half an inch of the light blue showing out and an inch of the dark blue (on retrospect i should have chosen the 3 inches instead), but i think what they did was cut a half an inch of the light blue, saw that it didn't cover the white, and just put it so that it looks alright. he did show it to me before i went home with it, but im near sighted so i didn't realize there was white until i got home and actually looked at it. i guess it's my fault that i didnt check hard enough.. how much do you think it'd be to make the dark blue matte like 3 inches instead of 1? i kind of like the white now so thats cool, i just think the dark blue should be bigger. but i guess if it's too expensive i'll just screw it (though i DID get a check for $400 that was left over from my student loan ;) )

    I think it looks good. :)

    Agreed about the tickets over the poster though...not a problem if it stays framed forever, but if you ever decide to change or remove the frame, it might be a problem.

    What poster are you gonna frame next?
