Where is a good cheap place where I can get 8 photos matted?
Hobby Lobby wants 25 bucks per photo , anyone know of any places they found to be reasonable?
Thanks

WOW! 25 bucks?
Have you considered buying pre-cut matts? Or do these need to be a special size?
I just found and purchased a professional mat cutter on craigs list (complete with two custom made cabinets full of mat board). I'd do it for ya, but I probably need to get a little experience under my belt first! ;-) |

Ugh, I went through the whole custom matte thing long ago.
Now I just go to Ikea and get boxes full of frames with matte included, each one $15-Can. They use almost an entire 13x19" print sheet out of my Canon i9900, and add to the size with the matte & frame around that. The quality is good too.
It's handy to be able to do it all yourself, but I don't have the time or patience to get into cutting my own mattes. |

| I've purchased a matte cutter in the past but didnt like it an had to return it, but if you dont need a custom size matte you can try going to your local craft store,I know Michaels craft store carrys them pretty cheap, or you can always talk to them about getting custom jobs done. Im not to sure where in Houston, your located but there are a few located down there. Heres a link to their locations to see ones close Michaels |

thanks so far for the input. Yeah Slippy that was for like 60+ photos and I did manage to get discounted price for buying so many, but the place I ordered from requires a 20+ order minimum :(
I wissh they started to make 8x12 precut mats. I mean we are in the digital age, and most cameras are in that format right?

Oh, in that case, if your dog is matted, use a pin brush!
