Yes, there are places where the artwork is
mistreated. Those are usually the places that are
part of a chain of shops. "Frames Unlimited" is
around my house... as well as Micheal's
Framing...both i wouldn't recommend to an enemy.
It's the small time, family-run shops that
succeed in framing. And chances are - if you go
to one of the little shops - every employee is an
artist (like myself).
I work at an art store with a framing department.
Standard framing is archival framing. If the
person wants their poster "glued to a board",
they are advised of the circumstances. Usually
that is an option with posters because if they
are not dry-mounted - then they wrinkle from
humidity. A good frame store would tell you this -
and also all the other options.
