you just need to purchase framing corners or mylar strips to secure your print to the backboard IF you are using mattes. if you aren't using mattes then you don't need to worry about them.

For those who purchase frames from AF, do you buy the glass from them also?

they don't sell glass, only plexi. if i opt for plexi i go for the uv protective. if i want glass i go to a local place for the uv glass.

That's the best way to go. Especially if you live in earthquake country.

How clear are these?

Also, I heard that UV protection is actually just a scam and doesn't really help? Are screenprinted posters vulnerable to sunlight anyways?

None of my prints are exposed to direct light ever so i don't worry about that. The anti glare is great- its perfectly clear, and instead of seeing a reflection of the room in the glass, you just see the artwork. I have both anti glare and regular plexi in frames and I prefer anti glare.
