Redimat.com is another good supplier.
If you are going to do it on an ongoing basis getting a mat cutter and
cutting your own would save money and give you greater flexibility. I
usually don't buy full sheets of mat board but get instead a couple of
strategic sizes of pre cut "blanks" - no center cut. Those can either be
used or cut down to size. Smaller sizes can be gleaned from the center
cuts for larger pieces.
I get bags from clearbags.com. The volume discount gets so ridiculous
that I just buy several years worth of bags at a time.
You can also go the cards route and there was a recent thread that
discussed that. For cards I just print on Museo Artists Cards, which is
a beautiful rag paper (B&H is a good source).
But cards kill small prints since they are essentially 4x6 or 5x7 images.

One problem with not being an artist is that I don't know squat about
displaying and selling my photos. I tend to carry them around in an
itoya portfolio book updating the selection as I go. I was talking
with some friends who have a shop in town that sells art and ukuleles
about them trying to sell some of my photos. I've also thought that
at some point I should put together some pieces to show.
Pat and Julie told me that you can't just sell prints, they need to be
mounted well enough that people can just hang them on the wall.
Can people give me pointers to cost effective ways of going about
this? I tried stopping by the local art store, but most of my prints
are 12x18 or 4x6 and they simply don't have much that work with those
form factors.
