MOUNTING & MATTING SERVICES

To help round out our photographic services we also offer mounting or matting of your photographs. All of our mat board is of the highest quality archival 100% cotton fiber. It is acid free and buffered with calcium carbonate to a pH of 8.0 ± .05. 

We use 4 ply mat board for all uses including the backing board. Mounted or matted prints are shipped in a clear polyethylene bag suitable for bin sales at galleries or art fairs.

We offer 4 color choices for mat board:

• Bright White

• Natural White - light creamy color

• Photo Gray

• Black - solid black throughout

All mat boards are made with solid color throughout.

MOUNTING TO MAT BOARD

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

Custom size mounting upon request. 

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. 

* A double mat is a second window mat cut 1/4" larger than the first mat. This gives more depth to your image. Different mat colors may be used.

** Custom size matting upon request.
