[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 301137, member: 9240"] I met with a gallery yesterday that would like to try and sell my work (yay, I think). To start they're asking for 3 framed prints to hang, and 10 loose prints to put in rack displays. The prints they have now are 5x7's and 8x12's matted on a thin white mat with a similar back and stuffed in an acid free clear bag. It's a standard fare that I've seen in galleries and at arts and craft shows, but I've never had to put something like this together. I've got to assume that there are print shops that will do this work for you at an obvious cost. I've tried to hunt it down on Nations and MPIX, but either I'm not looking in the right place or they don't offer it. So, do any of you use a national lab that does this kind of work at a reasonable price? I could always do this myself, the only thing I don't know where to get are the bags (I'm assuming a craft place like Michael's?). At the same time, if I can get someone to do it and drop ship them to the gallery (it's 90 minutes away with no traffic, so I'd be shipping even if I did it) I'd be happier. Thanks in advance.
