Re: Thick Mats (US)
Nielsen Bainbridge sells 8-ply museum matts in precut sizes. It's a nice thick matt with backboard in the standard cuts (like 11x14 in 16x20, etc). Unless you have a good matt cutter and can deal with cutting your own from full board stock, it runs less money to buy pre- cuts. I have been standardizing on them for a bit. The local University Art shop generally has them at 40% off, or about $14 apiece.

Does 8-ply just mean thick or are there actually 8-lines within the cut that are visible? -Ryan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
