I don't think 1/4" will hold things flat in a changing environment,
regardless of mat weight.

I think much depends on weight of the paper if you use narrow borders.  If
you're printing 11x14 on a 13x19, I'd leave all the border, assuming a 16x20
or so mat board/frame.

(Without glazing though you have no need to use barriers in the back either,
so a cost savings.)

==One other question:  if one is going to hinge mount and NOT 
==USE GLAZING, is a window mat overlap of 1/4 inch enough or is 
==more recommended eg 1/2 inch?
