Why You Should Mat with Bainbridge Alpharag Mats

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Bainbridge Alpharag Artcare mats are the superior choice for matting original artwork and limited edition reproductions.  If you want your artwork to last for generations, Bainbridge Alpharag mats are the ideal matting solution for conservation framing purposes.

When you want to mat your artwork with an archival mat that will protect and preserve your artwork, Bainbridge Alpharag mats are far recommended over paper mats.  Here’s why: Bainbridge Alpharag mats are made from 100% cotton rag, so they are naturally acid and lignin free.  Paper mats, on the other hand, need to be chemically treated in order to become temporarily acid-free – and even then, the protective buffering will eventually wear off.  Bainbridge Alpharag mats will never become acidic, so they are the best option for matting one-of-a-kind works of art.

You will have plenty of choices for customizing your Bainbridge Alpharag mats to most effectively showcase your artwork.  Bainbridge Alpharag mats are available in a variety of colors.  Bainbridge Alpharag mats are solid core, which means that the bevel will match the color of the front of the mat board.  When you order Bainbridge Alphrag mats, you can order them as single, double or triple mats.

Bainbridge Alpharag mats are available in 4 ply or 8 ply. The term “ply” describes the thickness of the mat.  A 4 ply mat is 1/16 of an inch, which is the standard size for mats.  Bainbridge Alpharag 8 ply mats, on the other hand, are double the thickness of the standard 4 ply mats.  The deeper bevel of the Bainbridge Alpharag 8 ply mats creates a stunning and sophisticated presentation for your artwork.

When you buy a lot of Bainbridge Alpharag mats from Documounts, you will save when you buy in bulk.  You only need to buy 4 or more of the same Bainbridge Alpharag mats to begin receiving the bulk discount.  The more you buy, the more you save!

In addition to Bainbridge Alpharag mats, Documounts also sells all of the necessary supplies that you will need to mat, mount, frame and display your artwork!

The Benefits of Using Bainbridge Alpharag Artcare

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Bainbridge Alpharag Artcare mats are the museum-quality solution for matting original, one-of-a-kind works of art and limited edition reproductions (such as hand-pulled prints, photographs or giclees).  If conservation framing is a top priority, then Bainbridge Alpharag Artcare mats are the ideal choice to ensure that your artwork will last for generations to come.  Bainbridge Alpharag Artcare mats not only present your artwork in style – they also preserve your artwork by protecting it against chemical deterioration.

Bainbridge Alpharag Artcare mats are made from 100% cotton rag.  Cotton rag is naturally acid and lignin free, which means that they won’t become acidic over time, like pH neutral paper mats will.  For this reason, Bainbridge Alpharag Artcare mats are the archival choice for matting important and/or valuable artwork.

Alpharag Artcare mats are available in a variety of colors.  You can choose to buy Alpharag Artcare mats in 4 ply or 8 ply.  4 ply Alpharag Artcare mats are 1/16” thick, which is the standard thickness for mats.  8 ply Alpharag Artcare mats are 1/8” thick – double the thickness of the standard mats.  The deeper bevel of the 8 ply Alpharag Artcare mats creates a more striking, sculptural presentation of your artwork.

If you need to buy a lot of Alpharag Artcare mats, you will be delighted to know that Documounts offers generous bulk discounts when you buy a large quantity of Alpharag Artcare mats.  The best thing is that you don’t even need to buy a huge amount of Alpharag Artcare mats to qualify for the bulk discount.  You only need to buy 4 of the same custom cut Alpharag Artcare mat to receive a quantity discount.  The more you buy, the deeper the discount becomes!

At Documounts, you can also buy all of the matting, mounting and framing supplies that you will need to display and sell your artwork at art festivals, gallery shows, and studio sales
