    Would anyone know where I may be able to buy a picture frame or frame kit for two recent poster prints?
    Prints are; 68 x 31 cm's (1 cm border) & - 66 x 62 cm's (1 cm border)

    Most of the photo shops want both my arm and leg - well - more than the prints themselves cost! Anywhere in Dublin city that you can walk in a pick up the necessaries?

    Thanks in advance Board.ie-ers.

    I find myself in a similar predicament. Did you ever find anywhere reasonable for those frames? Some places really push extortionate prices. . .

    Cheers

    I get my stuff abroad, it is way cheaper, but of course not handy at all...

    I had a print on canvas and wanted to put it on a solid wooden frame. The lady in framing studio told me it would cost 60€, the print itself was 20€. To hell with them!

    Look in 'pound' shops for cheap pictures or just frames. You may not get the off-standard sizes, but simple inoffensive frames are often round cheap pictures that you can dump. I got some very nice frames in a dull gold crackle finish, in my local £ shop for €2.50 each, (admitted ly they were on sale) about 14ins x 20 ins approx. Micheal Guineys are another good source of cheap pictures.

    Alternatively you can get glass or perspex cut to size and a piece of light wallboard or mdf then use the little clips to hold them together - you should be able to get them in a glass cutting place, but at a push you can buy ready made very small ones very cheaply and rob the clips off them.
