Framing 8 x 12

bkatz

All -=

I have a couple of shots recently purchased that the customer wants framed. They show up best as 8 x 12 but not really sure the best way to go about displaying them. These are nature shots - a sunset, a lake and a bay.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

Easy answer
Standard sizes, except for the opening of the mat board. Just use an 11x14 mat board (like you would for an 8x10 image) and cut the opening to accept the 8x12 photo. Allow maybe a quarter inch on all four sides of the photo for affixing to the back of the mat.

This size of mat, 11x14, fits a standard size frame of the same size.

This was such a straight forward question and answer that I am wondering if this is what you were really asking for...?

I use 8 x 12 for ALL of my landscape nature stuff. A 8 x 12 is pretty common and I use a 12 x 16 mat/frame. I but my stuff here: Documounts.

I just framed my 8x12 fair entry in a 16x20 mat & frame and it looked really good.

Peter - Thanks for the suggestion - not really into cutting mats

Mike - I really like the site you included - looks like a great fit. Out of curiosity - which mounts do you use for your photos

Chris - I think you and Mike have hit the nail on the head. Did you do the Mat and Mounting yourself?

Thanks again for all the advice.

I copied this from my Pricing and Contact website..."All photos are professionally printed on Kodak Professional paper. Matted photos are pH Neutral, Bainbridge Papermat in "Fabric White", single-mat. Framed and matted photos are framed in "Matte Black", Nielsen #117 frame."

I do all the work myself.

Here's another one that does custom frames and mats for a reasonable price.
