Digital BW, The Print

Michael, I do a combination of things, depending on where my work is going 
and how it will be presented.  If I'm sending work to a client or a gallery 
or a business for display and sale, I use a local framer with whom I have a 
long-term business relationship.  He gives me a great discount, his work is 
always impeccable, and exactly what I need/when I need it, especially 
important when I'm up against a deadline or need a custom cut.  I also have 
shrink-wrapped work in gallery shops.  In the past I've used mats from Light 
Impressions.  I'm exploring Documounts as they have packages with the clear 
envelopes, fomecore and mats.

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.
