I believe it's the same as the current 100 Mickeys print, but I am not 100% certain.

They have ones that are on paper and are like 35 and 45 dollars. The biggest problem I have with the canvas ones is that they say you shouldn't have them streched over a wood frame.

Ack! This again! Before someone comes in and launches another war, here's what we learned last time this issue came up.

The canvas prints can apparently be stretched, but must be treated with a specific chemical compound before stretching to prevent flaking, etc, etc.

That said, some Gallery CMs are *still* telling people that they should not stretch the prints, and my local Aaron Bros. said that they wouldn't touch them. If you take them to a professional framer, they should know what to do.

Having a shop custom-frame your work CAN get quite expensive (and take a long time). Alex and I took our old "four mountains" print (yes, from back when the park was doing that celebration of the four mountains) to a local frame shop, and I think it cost over $200 to get a custom frame job on it. It's been over a month and we still haven't seen it.

are the paper ones done on archival acid free paper? Also is the paper fairly thick (like cotton weight), and is the paper printing long lasting, and just as vibrant as the canvas ones?

I am surpised a little that they don't print the things on vinyl like they did with that one indy poster. But yeah custom framing is expensive. I have this cambodian thing where it's "pressed" or embossed into the fabric and it had to be framed a special way (I know since we had to go to 3 different places before someone said they could do it) so the image wouldn't get flattened.
