    I just went to Michael’s with 2 posters to take advantage of their 70% off sale and their pricing has gone up significantly from what I’ve paid in the past, even with the sale (~50%). I know Art to Frame and American Frame have been recommended here.  My question is, how do the prints mount in these frames? I obviously don’t want to dry mount.  Might be a dumb question, but I’ve only used Michael’s for my frame jobs so this is new territory.

    I use American Frame for all my frames and use these mounting strips to secure the print. No adhesive touches the poster. Pretty foolproof and uncomplicated.

    ^ Awesome. I’ll follow your lead and give them a shot. Thanks!

    Oh, one more thing. They send the mats pre-cut and that part is pretty self-explanatory I assume?

    Yeah. You tell them the size of the art and they calculate from there.

    Yes... you give them the actual size of the poster and then they make the mat opening 1/8 of an inch smaller on each side so that you have a small overlap of the mat on the poster.

    I’m thinking of using a service like this. How many mounting strips do you need for a 18x24 poster?

    The strips come in 4 inch lengths and I usually cut them in half to make 2 inch strips.  Then I put two strips for each of the 4 sides of the poster which is a total of 8 (but I actually only used 4 from the box).  I just evenly space them around the perimeter of the poster.
