Got a big problem. Received invitations for submissions to three art shows
last week. Everything is due in the middle of September. I've got five
large prints being made by Holland in Austin, TX (four of them
Ilfochromes), and three more large prints being done by The Slide Printer
in Denver.
I need five frames, and relatively quickly. Normally I would have a shop
here do them, but they require too much lead time. Looking at mail
ordering the frames, mats, etc. I'm thinking about metal frames which are
a bit simpler for me to cope with, and 100% acid-free "conservation" mat
board. Everything needs wire hangars and it should all be matted.
Q: Anyone done their own framing?
Q: Anyone know of a good on-line supply house for frames and mats in the US?
Q: Has anyone used plexiglass for glazing?
Q: How does that compare to good quality glass?
Q: Anyone framed Ilfochromes (Cibachromes) before? Any special
considerations with them compared to normal glossy prints?
This needs to be relatively simple and inexpensive (hopefully) without
compromising archival quality.
BTW, several of the prints are being made of these:

The other three images are so recent that I haven't had them scanned.
Thanks,
