[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 312425, member: 12257"] So another question now (as I wait for the BIG print to come back from framing)... I'm framing up a couple of my own prints and was wondering... if you're wanting to frame something for display, and want it to look good for a long while, is there any particular type of print to use? Flat? Glossy? Metallic? So new to the print side of things still, so I don't wanna mess something up and have to redo it later! For the record, I'm printing one B&W, one that's a mix of full color with B&W around the edge, and one BRIGHT full color bloom on a black background. All will be 5x5 under glass, so no foam boards or anything at this time. EDIT: FYI - found the perfect 24x36 barnwood frame at Hobby Lobby marked down to $20.00, ordered a double mat (dark navy blue with a thin inner white lip) and used a daily use 40% off coupon on the glass, so gonna have a fine looking frame, mat and dry-mount fitting all for less than $120. WIN for the bald guy! [/QUOTE]
