Well, a little different as I &#8220;splurged&#8221; and decided to get the mounted backing print. It&#8217;s a $10 difference.\u00a0 Art board is about $6-$8 so it was worth it to go ahead and have them mount the print.\u00a0 The total was about $30 and I found out when I went to pick up the print that there was a smaller option not listed on their website that would have required no extra space for cheaper.\u00a0 Ah well.
