RE: [Digital BW] Re: Eb4 + 1100 .. nice. Now mat board.

2011-12-28 by Gary

Hello,

I have been using Redimat.com in Santa Rosa, Ca. for the past year and have
been satisfied so far. I was using Light Impressions but they were taking
weeks to months to fill orders. 

Thanks,

Gary Wagner

board to use (and where to get it). Obviously it should be archival, but so
far I have not found a color that says 'natural white.' 

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.
