The Cost of Custom Framing?

[Jason Dunn]

So, I swear, the cost of custom framing gets more and more expensive every year - it makes me cringe whenever I get anything framed. I really want to do some 13" x 19" print of some of my sunset photos, but the cost of framing them scares me. Anyone else doing printing at home and cursing the cost of wood and glass? :rolleyes:

Hopefully you aren't paying retail! Most places around us (Washington, DC area) routinely offer 30-50% off their published prices. You have to dig up the circulars to get the coupon, though.

If it's a regular-sized frame, yeah, I wait for sales - but I haven't seen custom framing go on sale around here...

I'm talking about custom framing. Here is an example:

This is where we get most of our stuff done.

Well you have access to some good deals. ;)

Apparently so! Next time you are in DC, we'll get all of your pictures framed and order you up a bunch of Amazon MP3s!

Haha...no doubt! I'm going to be in Vegas for CES and I'm already thinking of the things I need to do with an American IP address. ;)
