Digital BW, The Print

Michael, over the past several years I have been getting my mats from
www.framedestination.com <http://www.framdestination.com/>   .  Their
products are very high quality and the service is excellent.   They will
charge $2.50 ( the last time I checked ) for a set up charge for custom
window sizes and they also have many standard sizes that will work for
digital formats.   Their prices a are very competitive and I find that
because of the time involved and the mat cutting tools one needs to purchse
they are the best value for me.   I mostly use 8 ply acid free mats so
cutting these myself would be even more of a pain.  I have no affiliation
with them, I am just a happy customer.

 

Best, Phil

Subject: [Digital BW] OT: Matting prints

 

I'm curious to learn how you guys handle the considerable chore of 
matting your prints; more specifically, arriving at matts with windows. 
Do you opt for matts with pre-cut windows (and therefore print for the 
pre-cut size), cut your own windows (and therefore print for the image, 
not the matt), have them cut locally, or custom cut from an online 
supplier? I've got this issue coming up pretty soon and it feels like 
an enormous undertaking; your various perspectives and tips will be 
appreciated.
