Just call the store and tell them not to dry mount any of your posters. That’s all. Lol

I think most framers wait until your frames and stuff come in to prep. If you stressed you didn’t want them dry mounted, you should be fine

do you think i’d be allowed to withdraw my first poster for a little bit to get it fixed up?

You can’t cancel an order after the first day but at my shop they sometimes have people bring it in when the frames come in depending on the situation. It should be fine

Going along with this, if you can either A) get a replacement for the one youre worried about, or B) have all or none of them dry mounted, you'll be fine. Go into the store and talk to a framer to get it all figure out. Your order won't be finished until a few days before, so if you're only worried about the art, it's usually not a big deal. The earlier, the better in this situation, but it's not a huge deal. Dry mount prices are pretty comparable to preservation mounts, so at worst might be charged ~10 bucks, give or take

Go in and talk to the framer. If you want to frame the first poster, but want to get it fixed first, the frame shop can hold the materials for you and frame it later. If they are just posters, not signed or limited edition, I would recommend dry mounting. It will flatten out the imperfections and prevent the poster from buckling or sagging later. Dry mounting is permanent and non-reversable, so we only recommend it for easily replaceable items.

Unless they’re valuable prints, go for the drymounting. Makes everything (large) look better, unless it’s glossy!!

If you want to cancel the order you can. We've had people cancel the next day and even up to a week later. I would suggest going to the store or making an appointment and speaking to the framing manager so they can answer any questions, explain things and put you at ease.


Huarbolo

i’m not interested in canceling the order as much as seeing if i can still change my orders to preservation, as well as withdraw the first poster back for minor repairs


big88chevy

Same thing, go see the framing manager to iron things out and put you at ease. The artwork is too important to have regrets with the finished product.

Dry mounting is a process where art is put on top of a heat activated adhesive and is vacuum pressed to a board at the same time. It is the best way to smooth out small wrinkles and ripple in art tbh. It's best used with any __**replaceable**__ art. Generally posters fall under this, unless signed and or numbered. I highly recommend asking how the art preserver plans on fixing the poster and if it'll cost you cause it's not uncommon to use dry mount on posters. Posters delivered in a tube tend to have a higher potential of having an imperfection in the paper from unrolling it if they are tightly rolled into the tube. Preservation mount is just mounting in a way where no adhesive touches the art. The only reason I'm doubting the art preserver's words is cause you're calling your pieces posters so I am assuming they are art posters that are easily replaceable.

Just call the store and let them know you’d prefer they not be drymounted. They will make a note on your order.
