its hard to see small imperfections when you frame a poster, if there not to bad i would not worry about it, the print looks so good as a whole no one will notice them anyway lolshaneoftheroad wrote:Good thing I wasn't planning on ever getting rid of the Ryman Rob Jones poster. My wife accidentally sat on it during the show and now that I'm looking at it there are two small creases on either side! haha Oh well, my first Ryman show, my first Jack show. This is going on the wall and not coming down. Thanks for the advice on framing!!
and those will totally frame out! it will look good as new once behind glassshaneoftheroad wrote:Good thing I wasn't planning on ever getting rid of the Ryman Rob Jones poster.

check out the "post your framed gigposters" thread and look for 3quid's (I think) rac's posters - I like that job quite a lotmangry wrote:Show was insane...this was the first time I have heard Jack's full fury in concert. The Wanda shows were not quite the same. Just seeing his copper-top Gretsch in person is cool enough, let alone him shredding on it. Keeler was insane too!
Any tips on poster storage/framing? Gotta wait a bit to frame my print 'til I get paid (a week or so.) Right now it is stored in a tube 'cuz it is too big to fit in my big flat drawer.
What about when it comes to mounting the print? It seems like dry mounting the print would definitely lower the value. Of course, if it is framed in your home as a piece of art for your visual enjoyment then I guess it doesn't matter...but what do y'all do?orangeshoeskid wrote:I haven't gotten that far to need those yet. The largest I've done is a 20x26 poster. I've got a handful of huge ones and my mat cutter only does up to 32" so I will probably just go and get a mat cut professionally. I think to cut a mat is $10-20.Moller72 wrote:I would build my own but how do you get mats big enough for the huge prints.orangeshoeskid wrote:That too.Moller72 wrote:I use Americanframes.com for all my prints very reasonably priced.mangry wrote:Show was insane...this was the first time I have heard Jack's full fury in concert.

I know I've seen them go off whenever it's mentioned and use it an an expletive. So I imagine it's not good.elduderino wrote:go ask those lugnuts on expressobeans about drymounting. i dare you.

That's what I thought. Looks like archival tape is the way to go. I don't want the print to be permanently fused to something. Thanks all for the advice everybody! I'm not really a poster collector; I've just become more interested in getting screen prints at the shows that I attend.patchwork wrote:orangeshoeskid wrote:I know I've seen them go off whenever it's mentioned and use it an an expletive.

drymounting is when they take your poster and lay it on a big piece of foamcore and stick it in a big ass heat press. its great if you have a $10 poster from a music store or something, but i definitely would not do it to a signed and numbered print. i worked in a frame shop for awhile and a bindery shop that both did drymounting. i do not recommend it at all unless you just dont care about the print
I use these. I prefer them over archival tape because the tape will still sometimes pull some of the paper off if you ever need to remove the print.mangry wrote:That's what I thought.

Ah, posterity. Thank goodness I'm a blurred blob in this picture. I may want to run for President one day.plantersman wrote:really? i thought, this would've been your standout moment...shaneoftheroad wrote:A standout moment for me was at the end of "Carolina Drama" when he sang the last line without a microphone.
