Framing / Matting - Source for Large Mattes

[Roscolo]

Any ideas on where to get oversize matte board? All I see online is up to 32x40in and that's the size I'm printing. I'm near Atlanta.

Try Talas: http://talasonline.com/

They carry the good stuff ...

Mat  boards come 32x40,  40x60, and  a few  48x72 and then 48x96 and 60x102.

The larger the size, the fewer choices in color. Thereare still quite a few colors available in the 40x60 size.

check out a local framer andsee if they can help.

I can only imaging the shipping charges for a 60"x102" sheet   much less trying to man-handle it in to starting to work on making the mat.  

Ah the price we pay to print big

Luckily for me, my supplier delivers. The 60x102 sheet is basically raw from the press and also must be squared up before you can even think about cutting a mat from it.  That's where the old 3-4-5 triangle comes in handy to square up the corners. The largest mat I have cut was 50x72 and took me almost an hour from start to finish.
Not for the weak hearted!!

You won’t want to ship that since the base oversize fee alone will be at least $40. Atlanta will have a number of distributors. If you have a tax ID you can get an account, except for Larson unless you also have a retail front. If not, check with a local custom framer and see if they can buy it for you for a reasonable markup for their time.

I've been looking for some 72 board for a panoramic shot. Needing a (north) UK supplier if anyone knows any?
