Please post pictures when yours come back I always like to see what people choose everyone knows I am the plain black frame and black mat kind of boring person.

Although I would prefer the mylar framing corners, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't art museums use linen tape for all of their stuff. If something is good enough for some of the older stuff they have there, why is it not good enough for our posters that can't even compare in value?

Acid free linen tape is a little different story than regular release tape or just some random acid free tape they decide to use. Some use linen tape some use Japanese hinges and some do it without anything at all. Walk into a normal chain store frame shop or just about any frame shop and ask them if they use linen tape. Most will just say yeah we use tape. Fact of the matter is most of them do not give a shit and places like Michael's that have a 18 year old kid working the counter kind of scare me. Everywhere is different I know Kaseyls has a really great framer I am just saying be clear and upfront about the materials you want used on your print, if not any jackass can drymount it or use masking tape to attach it to a mat.
