A paper mat is an affordable option for matting open edition reproductions (such as giclees and photographs), as well as posters.  Documounts offers 3 kinds of paper mat boards: Bainbridge Paper Mat Boards, Crescent Paper Mat Boards, and Canterbury Paper Mat Boards.

Bainbridge Paper Mat Boards and Crescent Paper Mat Boards are pH neutral. These mats are ideal for matting open edition reproductions (such as giclees or photographs) or posters.  These paper mat boards are buffered to be temporarily acid free, which means that for several years they will protect your artwork from acid damage.  Over time, the protective buffering will wear off, and your artwork will be exposed to the acidic deterioration that causes yellowing and staining.  Therefore, paper mat boards are ideal for matting open edition reproductions, rather than original works of art or limited edition prints.  If you need to mat one-of-a-kind works of art or limited edition photographs, you should use an archival board rather than a paper mat.

Bainbridge and Crescent Paper Mat Boards are available in 4 ply, which is 1/16 of an inch.  They are available with both a white core and a black core.  These paper mat boards are available in a wide range of over 100 colors, making them an ideal choice for double or triple matting.

Canterbury Paper Mat Boards are the economy grade mat boards suitable for matting inexpensive reproductions, such as open edition prints, photos and posters).  The surface of the Canterbury mat board is buffered to be temporarily acid free, but the core remains acidic.  Canterbury mats are available in over 40 colors.

When you buy paper mats from Documounts, you will enjoy a bulk discount that starts when you buy just 4 of the same size mat.  The discounts run even deeper the more you buy!  This is ideal for artists and photographers who need a lot of paper mats to prepare for upcoming art shows.
