New Feature: See Your Custom Mat as You Design it

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011

We have a new feature on the Documounts website  and we think you’re gonna love it.

As you enter your colors and dimensions in the custom mat builder you will now see a preview of the  mat you’re designing as you do it.

This will help you catch any errors in colors, borders or dimensions…..and it’s fun!

You can learn more about how it works here or you can just start playing with it right now on the matbuilder. Happy Mat Designing!

For this reason we recently created a page with a breakdown of the kits that we offer and how they can work for you.

Please take a look at the page Mat Kits and Pre-Cuts Breakdown. We hope it will help you determine what your needs are. You can also always contact us for further questions.

Use Black Core Mats to Show off your Summer Work

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

sunflower image matted in blackcore matBlack Core Mats are a great option for matting and framing your summer photographs and paintings.

Black Core mats add a lot of punch and pop to brightly colored images, especially ones that are lighter in color around the edges. Because the core is black, the bevel is black and the result is a sharp and impressive presentation.

You can get black core mats in a number of different product lines. Check them out in Bainbridge Papermat Black Core, Crescent Papermat Black Core, Alphamat Black Core, and in 6 ply Top Mat Alphamat Black Core.

Learn more about using black in your matting and presentations, including black core mats, black mats and black foam core.
