Seeing a lot of their ads lately.
I looks like a good system, but I am just wondering if any Hogger has experience with them, and if there is any issue with the edges of prints, especially larger ones, curling up in higher humidity climates?
The Southeast especially comes to mind, but even here in the northern climes, the humidity can get to be pretty obsessive. We thrifty [translate: cheap] Yankees and Down Easters don't always turn the AC on right away, and I'd hate to see a nice photo badly displayed.

What's an Xpozer?
Check 'em out.
https://xpozer.comSeems to be moderate priced, but limited, large prints and hanging system.
I was curious about them as well. I was recently told by someone from the Company that they will be having Black Friday sales. Good time to give them a try without much of an investment.

Ahhh..
Someone built a better mouse trap.
I mean frame.
I have had a few XPozer prints (40x60 in size) hanging in my house for 5 years now (southern New Mexico) and they are no different today than they were when I first installed them. The "corner mounts" on the back of the print that dovetail with the triangular "fingers" on the stretch frame are sturdy.
As noted, they are very light - I can remove a frame and swap out the print to hang that on the wall in a matter of minutes by myself. You can order additional prints without the frame for just such purposes.
Just be aware that, as these prints are on a vinyl substrate, they are not as high resolution as paper or aluminum prints - something more akin to canvas.

Wow, 40x60 is a large print
I gave my daughter an 11x17 Xposer from BayPhoto about7 years ago. She is visiting this week with my newest grandchild and tells me that none of the edges are trolling and it still looks great. We live in Wisconsin with cold/dry winters and warm/humid summers.
I ordered 3 20x24 when they were on sale a couple months ago. Seems ingenious design for packaging and shipping. I liked them and have one hanging in my home, but I'm going back to metal for the depth and clarity.

They’re great. No risk of edges curling. Mechanism to stretch and hold in place is ingenious.

As a first time try, I had a 40x72 Xposer print made for a friend. The note above says it all. for the purpose, its a great product.
Thanks, all.
I think I'll give them a try.
I'll let you know my thoughts.
