Title: Mat board for Ilford Gold Fibre Silk
Post by: drewk425 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?

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.
