Re: Picture mounting and framing...
I really like the framing4yourself web site. Here's the link: http://framing4yourself.com/ I even took one of their one-day workshops (which they have throughout the country at various times of the year, and I really learned a lot). However, their site is also very informative. I use a Logan mat cutter, and it works great. Good luck! Kathy Leickly - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re[2]: Picture mounting and framing...
tom, I use albums from that I get from Porters. The reasons I like them are: They look nice, relatively inexpensive, hold 8 X 12 or 8 X 10's, there is no glass or plastic in front of the image to diminish the impact. Here is a description: Parker Photo Albums A new and exciting way to mount photographic prints faster and easier. Available in several standard print sizes, the pages are ready made with raised picture frame windows embossed in the page. Prints are mounted on both sides of the page in precut frames. Prints slip into these pre-formed pockets and align themselves perfectly. Prints are held in place as is or if you wish, sealed with a household iron. Place the completed page in your Parker multi-ring Album. Write names, dates and places on the album pages. Beautiful, padded, simulated leather-grained multi-ring Photo Albums in protective Slip Case. Choose from four attractive colors, all with gold embossed design look like expensive volumes on a bookshelf. Large 101/2x14 album accepts a variety of multi-punched page inserts. Now one album can do it all - easily, quickly, conveniently and beautifully. Each Parker Album is complete with a protective Slip Case of matching color, a starter set of 5 embossed Heat Seal Pages for 4x6 prints, a starter set of 5 Scrapbook Pages, and a sheet of Peel Off Adhesive Mounting Strips. Each album accepts up to 25 pages. Elegant handcrafted albums with matching slipcovers Archival-quality pages will not damaged your precious memories All Parker pages fit this album series - mix several print sizes in the same album if you wish Ample space on pages for writing names, dates and places Albums are $16.50 and pages are $4.50 for a pack of 5 (10 pictures). The presentation is quite nice and the price is pretty good too. Bruce Dayton Tuesday, December 18, 2001, 1:11:25 PM, you wrote: t Bruce Dayton wrote: Kathy, Thanks for pointing out the site.

RE: Picture mounting and framing...
I've been through the matted photos in a box scenario. The problems are that they are not the easiest thing to view and hold, and they wear and the mattes get dirty with bent corners. So I finally decided on a leather zip-up case from Light Impressions. I was worried about the acetate over the sheets causing glare, but that has not been a problem. The sheets are of very high quality - not your tyical photo album crap. I make fiber prints and then cut off the entire border with my paper cutter. Then I use this little gadget that rolls out archival quality dots of glue, go around the back perimeter of the photo with it and then make a big X in the middle, and then paste the print down and cover it up with the acetate. The sheets come in three colors: Black; White; and Gray. I've ordered and tried all three, and like the white the best by far (BW prints only). The white is VERY white, so even fiber prints with paper base on the edge still show a difference and line border up against the sheet. I've also successfully taken a couple of the prints off and re-used the sheets for other prints, but I would not suggest you do it too many times with the same sheet. There. Now someone's finally answered your damn question. Happy now?? :) Thanks, Ed http://lightandsilver.com snip This reminds me that no one answered my portfolio question, so here it is again: For those of you planning to put together a portfolio (as Mike was suggesting a couple of weeks ago), how do you plan to display it?
