I've seen fine art pints (including Ansel's) that were 16X20 or larger; even these had a white undermatt. I do agree the matting (if right color and quality) really does contribute to the image! Thanks for the comment on linen tape; I'll give it a try. I've (both editions) of "The Print"; truly inspiring, even if a bit outdated as to materials. Having been able to attend AA's workshop (1962-a graduation present) and watch AA, Al and Gerry print and mount truly got me going on good photography!
