I have five shops that do good enough framing within a couple of kilometres
of my house, so I just let them do it. I do not know what it costs there,
but it is inexpensive enough here to not bother doing it myself. My
exhibition frames (A2 print, 2" mat, plain black frame, reflection free
glass) cost around US$15 each. With ordinary glass, it would be around US$9
each.
Cheers
