It seems a classic narrow black wood frame (bigger than metal though) with generous white matt. I mocked up this and other dimensions & this one looks best IMO: http://www.edgehill.net/1/?SC=go.php...ography/prints Everything seems good archival quality, not sure about acrylic vs glass, maybe if not chosing the UV filtered... might as well not even use glass or acrylic? $46.60/kit add $10.45 for UV or anti-glare. If using matte paper I wonder how much of that quality is lost covering in glass? I guess the other reason for covering is to keep ozone & such off the paper for archival reasons. I'd like to know if there is something better. |

Look at the "TwoStep" frame kits for 8.5x11 and 13x19 (they include mats). Drew -- Drew W. Saunders dru (at) stanford (dot) eee dee you |

Any good online sources of ready-made mounts for 8.5 x 11 and 13x19 prints? documounts.com used to be good, might still be but I haven't used them for a while. framesbymail.com works as well. They have a good set of standard sizes, but if you dig a bit deeper you can design you own frame + mat + glazing for any frame size, any mat size, any print size. Don't forget the big-box crafts stores, eg. AC Moore for great bargains on standard- sized frames. Get a Logan Compact mat cutter ($100) and you can cut your own mats without too much trouble. rafe b www.terrapinphoto.com |

Hmm, odd enough they don't have a simple wood frame in black. framesbymail.com works as well. They have a good set of standard sizes, but if you dig a bit deeper you can design you own frame + mat + glazing for any frame size, any mat size, any print size. http://www.framesbymail.com/custom/2..._Plain/1/9/c/# $ 22.50 - 22 x 28 frame 1" black wood (larger size) $21 conservation mat (maybe fancier than others) $9.90 acid free foam core backing $21.78 plexiglass $82.50 I think I'm going to go with http://www.framedestination.com/product171.html eveything looks to be top quality & the kit comes in the right size with hanging hardware, etc. for $46.60 Don't forget the big-box crafts stores, eg. AC Moore for great bargains on standard- sized frames. Flax is the only one I know nearby & they don't have 13x19 Get a Logan Compact mat cutter ($100) and you can cut your own mats without too much trouble. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?A=details&kw=LO301S&is=REG&Q=&O=productlist&s ku=32122 32" should be good enough for most anything. That would be nice to do custom sizes & I guess it's not necessary to frame, just a matt, or double matt could be nice. -- Nicholas O.

Note that the cheap one is a bit smaller dimension.
