I'm looking to buy some nice picture frames, and was wondering if those of you who print and hang your photo's have any recommendations as to where to purchase? smile

I print mostly A4, but sometimes A3.

Actually you are right. They don't mention the size, so I think you should get those A2 prints free. Well, maybe not. hehe

andy - www.actpix.com it's run by andrew jackson who was exjagman off the old vx site. i believe there's a discount code for vx owners if you link from that site.


i have an exhibition at stockport art gallery starting saturday and he's printed all the shots for me and done a stunning job on them, they are really very beautiful.

I'd agree with Poah, Ikea gets knocked a lot but I think their Ribba frames are hard to beat they look nice and don't break the bank.

for A4 frames you should be able to get cheap ones from tesco etc.
