Default Re: Suggestions for matting and framing lots of photos.

11x14's with a 2 inch mat at $42 and up (no glass) ?

I buy some of my frames from Michaels Arts and Crafts. not all the frames they have are something I feel are good for resale, but the few that I do like, I wait until they are for sale at either 40% off or 50% off. This week until Saturday, they are 50% off.
The prices for 16x20's used to be $39.95 which used to make each frame $19.98 including the glass. Although I ditch the glass and purchase my own non-glare UV glass.
Michaels prices have gone up where it now cost I think $42.95 for a 16x20 not on sale
I was able to keep the price of paper, ink, matte, glass, frame and hanging hooks and wire between $30-40. I cut my own mats
Every outdoor show I do I usually have 25 framed prints to hang on my art tent walls and probably between 100-200 matted prints in the bins.
