!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Sure, I got a frame from Ikea big enough, but... actually getting it framed is a problem of its own. How to keep the poster from touching the front plastic, whether the mat is acid-free or where to get one that is. I'm considering just putting it back inside the case it came in until it's sorted.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
And of course getting it framed by an actual professional is not an option due to miserly parents. Ugh. Anyone with more of a clue than I have, step right up...

If it's that important (and, looking at the link, it's brilliant), it should be framed professionally. If you're willing to put it away until you can afford it, do so. I would still take it to a pro frame shop and see how much they quote you. You might be able to get away with a stock frame (not custom) and glass, but just have the pro put it together for you. You might want some sort of UV protecting glass to keep those sigs from fading. You lose nothing by talking to a framer. Dooooo itttttt.......

I would definitely go for the UV protecting glass, although I'm not sure whether the entire archival quality setup would fit the frame I have on hand. Well, it's worth a try...

Denmoe (Denver) is a talented artist who may have some good advice on framing, glass, etc. if you can catch him when he's not out hooning his Ranger. :-)

What ttyymmnn said. If it is important to you and you want to display it where people will see it then do it right. It costs, but it ins't as bad as you think.
