    WINDOW MATTING

       For the best in presentation and archival quality a window mat is recommended. All materials used in this process are fully archival. Print sizes from 5x7 to 16x20 can be matted. 

       Photographs to be matted are first dry mounted to a 4 ply backing board. A window mat using the same 4 ply mat board is then custom cut to your print size and hinged to the backer board. 

       Each photograph is matted to a window mat the next standard size larger. For example:  5x7 photos are matted to 8x10 board, 8x10 to 11x14, 11x14 to 16x20, 16x20 to 20x24. All of these will fit in standard size frames.
