Re: OT: Matting prints

2008-07-21 by Seth Rossman

I have had three Logans.  Over cuts have always been about not paying 
precise attention.  Wavy lines (pretty rare to me) have been either a 
jerky push or failure to use a sharp blade.

You are supposed to pull, but I use a "push" because that's the way I 
accidently taught myself a long time ago.

In the past I sprung for an expensive fool-proof Logan matt cutter, figuring
the cost would amortize itself at the 12th matt. Waste of time, money and
frustration. More often than not, a corner showed a tiny overcut or the 
bevel
was wavy. Now I wait until Light Impressions is having a free shipping sale
and order precut standard size 8 ply mats. The backing is hinged and they're
always perfect. Once in a while I do have an image that requires a
non-standard window -and pay the price. I'll now give framedestinations 
a try too and
see how the prices compare.
Best,
Arlene
