Default OT: A0 poster frames

I've just bought a couple of posters I wish to frame, nothing fancy, just
wish to keep them flat and mounted on the wall. The sizes are 25ins x 40ins
.... I'm guessing A0 will be oversized, and am wondering if anywhere wells
the exact size I want, and somewhere where it'd be damn cheap. Thirty or
forty quid is a frightening cost each.

Any pointers?

Largest one of these is approximately the right width, and about an inch
higher.. I reckon you'll get away with that, and you could always add a
strip of border top and bottom.

Alternatively it might be a perfect fit and the posters are actually
metric sized too...

I've just measured the width, and it is 25inches, so I guess the height is
correct as well.

25in x 40in translates to 63.5cm x 101.6cm, and the biggest Ikea is 70x100cm
.... bugger.

Best I've seen is
http://www.4x90.com/aluminium-frames...nium-frame.htm
at £30 each ... still too much for pikey old me ..

I've just had another thought .. who would have a scanner big enough and
would be able to reduce them down to a better size? Personally I'd like to
have a print quality version but 16"x12" or around that size when scaled
down.

Thanks

70-63.5=6.5
100-6.5=93.5

Can you cut the posters to 63.5 x 93.5 and have a 6.5/2=3.25 passe-par-tout
betwwen frame and image?

BTW, DIN A0 is not the right size for you, it is 1189 x 841 mm. You can
Google for it or <remembers useless university lesson> calculate it knowing
that DIN A0 surface is one square meter and the ratio of DIN Ax sides is
always equal to SQRT(2) so that DIN A(x+1) doubles the surface of DIN Ax. So
just solve X out SQRT(2)*X^2=1 and get the result. The only utility of it is
that you can get a DIN Ax by cutting in two halves a DIN A(x+1) (Germans,
couldn't they get a life?)

<FX: Excel>

Size Height(mm) Width(mm) Surface(m2)
DIN A0 1189,21 840,90 1
DIN A1 840,90 594,60 0,5
DIN A2 594,60 420,45 0,25
DIN A3 420,45 297,30 0,125
DIN A4 297,30 210,22 0,0625
DIN A5 210,22 148,65 0,03125

I bought 50 frames off Mike who's email is thefrithgroup@btconnect.com .
His direct line is 01722 743093. The bigger ones are 50cm by 40cm and I paid
£8 each - but I bought bulk(30 of these). Post was an extra £17.5 (in total)
for 4 big boxes. He has an eBay site (Kraftybay) but doesn't list all the
frames available because he makes them to order.

The frames are excellent, black painted or blonde wood with acrylic rather
than glass - much lighter. Service was good.

John

Aaah, school! I remember everything I was told about glaciers. That's been
very handy for moments such as these, when I am able to say "I remember

I can't check the link (blocked by firewall), but I believe Kokanee is a
Canadian beer producer. Some quite nice stuff as well, which goes down
well after a hard day on the slopes.
