need help ?
« on: July 17, 2018, 08:23:39 am »

I am looking for a different way to mount images for display.
I need something cleaner, no glass, no frame.  Cheaper is better as well.
No, this is not to be archival.  A year is fine.
My question is I just received 13x19" single sided self adhesive gatorboard.
I was hoping a 13x19 print would fit properly.
The gatorboard is about 1/8-3/16" narrow, and not perfectly square.  It is enough I have to trim the overhanging edge of the print.
Any experience out there?  Are these boards within specifications, or did I get a bad batch?
It is not the end of the world on the smaller prints, but will be a problem if the 24x36" boards I ordered have the same issues
Thanks for any help and insight.

If you want your prints truly flush with the edge then some trimming is required. You must either mount to an oversize board and trim to size or, as in this case, mount to an undersize board and trim to fit. It is not practical to try and mount a print to an exact size board. As for it being out of square, if you want something done right ___ ____ __ __ __ ________.
