The framed posters will be hanging about 4 inches above the monitors. Will the heat coming from these monitors do any damaged to the posters? Since i know it's not advised to hang posters above a heat source. I was just wondering if a computer monitor gets hot enough to do damage to it.

I'm no pro so maybe my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt but I would imagine with a 4" gap and a uv glass sheet it should be fine. But like I said no pro. K5 or someone else will have more professional advice.

thanks for your reply. i also think it will probably be ok, but i like to know for sure before i hang em there

there are 2 framed subway maps hanging there now for a few months, they seem to do okay but they're made from a different material ofcourse and not hanging there for a very long time.

Here for a better view of the situation

Looking at the photo you posted, you should be fine. Computer monitors nowadays don't seem to put off that much heat. If you do get a fair number of light in the windows, you may want to consider UV glass or UV plexiglass which is lighter, glass is heavier. When you frame them, do NOT dry mount them, just have the prints loose between the glass (or plexiglass) and the backing of the frame. Use acid-free backing whenever possible too.

Thanks for you reply.

I was going to take it to a shop to get it framed. But if it's that simple of just putting the poster in between the glass and backing, i can probably save some money by doing it myself. Is that the only thing they will do in the shop when i let them frame it?

I dont generally have the patience to frame stuff myself, I have a gal here locally who does amazing frame work so I give her the business, but I don't get a lot of stuff framed anymore. Just having it loose between the glass or plexiglass and the acid-free backing should be it, you can choose a frame, metal, wood, etc. You could do a matte as well but that adds to the expense...

I get everything framed. Got this mom pop shop who has am amazing framer. He's into the gig posters and pop culture so he knows what I'm looking for or what goes with the piece I'm getting framed. Couldn't be happier given them my money and fueling their business

Made a FS Thread over in the Trading Forum for the remaining Day of the Deads screenprints... less than 10 left. $5 off for those who are interested from this thread.

Just in case anyone was interested and wants to support some non-profits.

I just opened up one of my mondo posters to get framed and found a Pink Drive sticker. Are there people who collect these? Also if so, what is the trading value? Thanks!

lpnaz480 · 05-12-2013, 01:41 AM

Got my Godmachine Gutted Varaint back from the framer. Decided this print has so much going on that we didn't need a matte on it. Looks great and glad that Godmachine numbered it where people can see unlike my Englert one.

Sick!! That's awesome.

Can't wait to get mine. My regular will be going to a friend of mine who is a huge Alien fan like myself. He loved my Englert print but sadly I won't be parting with it, ever.

He'll be pretty excited when I finally drop it off, just waiting on my variant replacement to arrive.

Thanks it looks amazing. I left my lights on all say to charge it up. Haven't actually seen the GID on it yet. Also will be posting a pic of the Englert. It's stunning just wish I had a real camera to show how awesome the matte on that one is.

I'll take the pink scorpion sticker from you if you don't want it. I'll cover shipping to Canada in an envelope. Trying to build my sticker collection

Gonna have to sell more than posters if I hope to pay this one off! How much is blood selling for in the states these days?

Around here you get a pound of coffee, you might want to maybe try selling an organ.
