I've given up on Light Impressions. Their service, web site and prices have gone down the tubes in the last year. Does anyone have recommended places for buying precut acid-free white matte boards?

"Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

I'm not sure what you were paying before and what size you needed. I have ordered prints from Mpix Pro and have had them pre-mounted and they turn out great. Kevin

I use framedestination.com Great service, ships quick, and packaged very well. I've looked locally, but the main store that sells mat boards have beat up edges and very curved and very unlikely they are acid-free. Framedestination offers a very good variety.

Quantity discounts, often 25 or more get into very good pricing. Thanks for the link. Kevin

It's a nasty little secret that in the framing world, but the majority of frame shops do not cut, glue and staple their own frames. They get "chops" from a local service (who can also put them together). That local service also sells them the matte and glass. Website
