I think most that just say "white" are fine.  The ones with OBAs in them probably will have some indication of such and/or indications that they are for inkjet prints.

I have used Light Impressions boards for some time but have lately been bouncing around looking for a reliable (and affordable) alternative myself.  

For standard 11x14 cut-outs check Michaels for a baseline price.  I've been getting frames from Documounts lately and am impressed with there quality.  So, I might be looking at their mats next.  I think there are probably quite a lot of on-line sources, and I'd like to hear what people think of them also.  

What I've been doing lately also is simply having my reliable and good local framer cut board that I have.  I gave up cutting my own.  The pros with the good equipment and know-how do a noticeably better job than I was doing.

Good luck with the outfit.
