Re: Eb4 + 1100 .. nice. Now mat board.

2011-12-30 by Paul

Paul's comments on choosing a mat board color I found to be very helpful. Am now using PremierArt Fine Art paper, and Crescent Photo Rag #2299 mat board. This Crescent board is not overly white so the neutral coloring of the paper does not appear to be too warm.

It's a good combination for me.

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.
