Mat board for Ilford Gold Fibre Silk
« on: March 20, 2008, 04:43:44 pm »

Does anyone have a recommendation for what mat board, specifically, what color Westminster Buffered Rag, looks good with Ilford Gold Fibre Silk?

How is anyone supposed to know what you define as looking good?

That is a very, very good point. But, I suppose we could assume that if you/he liked a warmish and traditional looking paper, you'd like a similar mat-board.

I use Rising Museum board. I have been very happy with the warm white with the Ilford paper.

I suppose it could vary with the image, but Bright White, which is really not very bright, is a good all-around choice. The natural white can look too yellowish and distracting under gallery lights.

Sorry about the totally subjective question.  I should have asked what mat is closest in color to Ilford Gold Fibre Silk.  I looked at a sample kit from Light Impressions today and Bright White is what I chose.  Thanks for the responses.
