Where can I find large Mat boards for mounting? - 07-16-2009, 10:01 AM


I have some 20x30 and some 24x36 photos that I would like to mount on some mat boards. Has anyone have any experience finding any locally (houston area) or online ? I need quite a few of them. So if you know of a good place for a good price please pass info along :)

Thanks a million
Jaime

Hobby Lobby and Michael's have full-sheet mat boards, both regular and foamcore.

Try Jerry's Artorama (Willowbrook area)... they have a large supply of matt board.

If you are going to Hobby Lobby - check their weekly ad. One week they have frames half-off, and the next week mat boards half-off (or close to that cycle).

I have used Art Supplies from Dick Blick Art Materials
Look for free shipping.

Texas Art Supply. Two locations in houston.
Easy, ok price and you can see what you're getting.
Acid free/Archival.

Jerry's Artarama probably has some too, but I know TA has A BUNCH.
