after reading the thread here, i thought it would be cool if people could post their framed prints here so others could get frame/matte ideas from them..

if youre feeling generous, please share:
- framing company/brand
- cost
- frame color
- matte color
- dimensions (if you want to get that detailed)

Custom framed, archival white board, off white/cream mats, hinge mounted, UV glass..
cost = 100 bucks each but I trade tshirts with the art gallery where I get them done so it's a "business expense"

i'm going to apologize for this photo now... it was taken rather quick w/ my point and shoot... maybe this weekend if i get free time ill try to take a real shot of it. the print is on white white white paper, the matte is ever so slightly off colored white, as a reference

anyway, derek hess fine art named burned out

the original art is 27.25" x 12.25"

frame is 34.75 x 26.75

matte is a white w/ black core, 3" in size

the print itself is not "mounted" to anything... there is acid free paper behind the print that is then taped (acid free) to the matte, making a lil sammich so that nothing is really adhearing it to the acid free foam core behind it or the matte.

the frame is about 1.5" thick black aluminum

back is paper and wired up.

done at a custom frame shop, retail on this would be around $145ish.

imma try to get a pic of my "this is a poster" as it is in the same frame but a black matte w/ white core and looks dope, but it is still in a bag and not hung on a wall yet.

They are not very good photos, did not have a lot of time w/ the camera.
The top 3 are just cheap frames and the bottom 3 are framed and matted but not very fancy.

Peace

Pretty amazing, guys! I just throw my stuff in prefab 18" x 24" Aaron Brothers frames.

Here is a couple different examples. Latley with the shepard prints I have just been buying cheap $25 18x24" frames from hobby lobby (arts/craft store) using spacers, archival foamcore, and then putting butcher paper over the back. Costs about $35 when finished. The other picture is of my biskup I had frammed with UV glass, and the works for about $200. I would like to upgrade my obey prints to better frames but these work for now.

What kind of "spacers" are people using for their matless prints? Is there something i can buy or are you just cutting a thin strip of matboard?

The place I go sells me these thin plastic rectangular strips that I cut to size and they have an adhesive on one side.

how thick are they?

cwilcox · Post by **cwilcox** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 12:37 am

like 1/16 of an inch maybe, they are thin just enough to keep the print off the glass. they are cheap too, like $2.00-$4.00 to do a 18x24" print

sessone · Post by **sessone** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 12:41 am

yah, i looked around on google and it seems there is a product called framespace which is the higherline, and then there is econospace which is what you are talking about...both seem to be pretty cheap...i need to scoop some of this stuff up, as I prefer to frame mine matless in 18x24" frames as well...

Mike Panic · Post by **Mike Panic** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 7:57 am

i don't use spacers, the matte itself is enough to keep it off the glass. NOTHING should be adhered to the print itself.

Spacers are adhered to the glass, not the print.
