Large poster framing?

You could try Davis Hardware. I'm not sure they will be cheaper, but they almost certainly will be better. That's a pretty big size. Around $500 is about what I'd expect to pay anywhere for that size.

You might also be able to find a place that sends frames to your house and you have put the poster in the frame yourself. Once you get past the shipping and hassle, its probably better to have someone local do it.

 

I'm assuming you're getting the Jordan poster framed. I got mine done at the hobby lobby near the city centre. They always have ads for "half off" custom frames so make sure you mention that. They also directed me to a shop where I could get the plexiglass which I had to purchase and give to them before hand since they can't do regular glass for that size.

The whole thing cost me a little over $200 for a basic looking black frame.

 

Have you looked at some online peeps?

Do you absolutely have to have it framed? Maybe they can re-print and just put it on protected plastic-covered lined photograph paper. Nowadays, you don't need a frame, you can even just mount it on styrene foam (http://www.adoramapix.com/app/products/mounting).

 

I got a huge poster framed a long time ago. I went into Houston Art Supply and they helped me matte it up on a huge piece of foam core and black border matte. It actually cost only the materials since the employee helped me do it there.

That's what SHE said.

 

Framing is expensive, generally. My father's an artist so he needs lots of frames. Fortunately, he's also a carpenter, so he makes his own. Honestly, I don't know how frame shops sustain the prices they do, because my father's costs (minus labor, but really it isn't that hard when you have the equipment) are a 1/10th of the retail price.

And, no, he won't frame other people's stuff. I was just mentioning it because this thread reminds me how expensive frame shops are. I'm sure there's a good reason they're expensive that I'm not appreciating, but I get sticker-shock regardless.

SEEMS LEGIT.

Have you used those?

Also, do they accept them on your phone instead of printing them?

Ok, see, this thread title spoke to me, and it said someone was trying to frame one of the posters on this BBS, and a large one at that.. who are the largest posters here? And do we mean large posters as in volume of posts? Or as in the actual size of the poster himself? And what exactly are we trying to frame him for?

Watch yer backs, is all I'm sayin'...

 

That is an insult...

Really, you shouldn't.

I know lots about soccer and I always make sure I speak my mind.

I love Aaron Brooks and I'm glad he's back.

OK, fine. I'll answer for BOTH those questions.

Yes, we've used them many times. They're for specific types of frames so read the fine print.

I have no idea if they'll accept them on your phone. Never tried.
