web site that does printing and matting?

Anyone know of a web site that can take custom digital photos, print them, and then mat them as well? I've found a website that will do this with framing and matting, but you cannot select matting alone.

I have art -type photos that I would like to have printed AND matted online - not framed, though I would love it if SmugMug offered all three, (at least printing and matting would be very nice).

My goal is to get a stock of prints of my best and have them "ready to frame", which is typically double-matted bright white, typically in one or two sizes, then wrapped in clear cellophane. These are for gift stores.

Does anyone know of a good online service that will do this? SmugMug might want to consider finding a service like this to outsource to. Nothing fancy; just white on white - just like you always see at photo galleries and exhibitions of art prints.

BTW: Mpix doesn't actually do what I would like. They'll MOUNT picstures, but no create a double matte, kind of thing, that I'm looking for.

Found a few, but...
I found a few via Google, that will let you upload, matte, and frame. I found one that will allow you just to upload/print and select a matte without a frame, which is what I'm looking for, except the bummer is, I'd prefer to have SmugMug do the printing!! Obviously.

I guess I'll see what the price difference is from having these other guys do the printing/matting versus having the prints done via SmugMug and taking them to a local place for matting. I know the locals are expensive, so I'm not thinking this is going to work out nicely. I also trust the quality of SmugMug prints more than this other outfit, but I'm forced to compare the two.

Bummer. I'd really like to offer my online customers at least matting, but... I guess I'll probably end up just selling locally more anyway, and just get the printing from the Smugster and the matting locally.

As my too-often pronounced saying goes: "Nothing's easy." :booze
