RE: [Digital BW] OT: Matting prints

2008-07-16 by John Horner

I use a Logan model 301 compact mat cutter to do mine.  Logan also makes a
range of models larger and smaller.   With a bit of practice it isn't
terribly hard, certainly not as hard as getting a print just-right is :).
Cost for the 301 is about $100.

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.
