Digital BW, The Print

Cresent Rag (100% cotton) boards #1610 ("white") and #1687 ("eiderdown") work very well for natural papers + eb inks. I get these as sheets from the large art suppliers like Utrecht. I prefer sheets so I can cut custom sizes as needed. I cut mat windows with an inexpensive Logan Mat Cutter.

I am looking for some guidance on what mat 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.'  So all help appreciated.
