I like the frame size, what sort of frame is it, you said you would frame it so some sort of quick change frame system like Sue Heim's?
Hi David,
They are just regular frames from a local framer I got done ages ago. I bought a whole bunch in one lot when we first moved into our house.
I considered going down the whole archival path, but the cost was too high. The only ones I got archival done were the Eastwood Man with no name trilogy, because they never get swaped out. Those and the three big ones in the stairwell because of weight.
I told my framer not to tape the back of any of them down, and he gave me a whole stack of those little black things (the technical term) you put in the back to hold the back in. to this day I haven ever needed to swap any out. He also cut a whole bunch of matts to differing sizes for me so I can swap out the matts too if needed.
All I do is leverage them flat against the frame, take out the back, swap out poster which I tape to the back of the matt. Put the back on, push the black things back and it is ready to go back up.
A & C took me a whole 5 minutes to swap out. The hardest thing about the whole process is lining up the poster in the matt. Easier when there are a second pair of hands because they can hold it up while you line it up.
Sounds a lot more complicated than it really is, but its worked for me like a treat for almost 10 years now...
