Question: The frame moulding is 2.5" and my framer want's to go bigger on the mat...do you think the 4" border is too big? I've never done anything with that much mat...seems like overkill but when I mocked it up in it still looks okay I suppose. I've been staring at it too long and can't decide.
4"mat
oh why must i agonize over such trivial things?

I'd have a look on page 13 and then maybe ask bluecow the measurements of his copy, the biggest print i have is a seabury sympathy for the devil (40"x18") and has a 2" moulding with 2.5" exposed matt, stampede is slightly bigger and maybe does lend itself to the increase by 0.5" , i am sure peacedog could help as wellsixstringer wrote:Question: The frame moulding is 2.5" and my framer want's to go bigger on the mat...do you think the 4" border is too big?

art is the only justification for pain
My Stampede frame is 2" on each side as well as the mat, so the final space around the print is 4" on each side (not floated). Your setup sounds like it's going to be at least 5" on each side which I think might be too much.sixstringer wrote:Do you think a 4" border is too big?

It'll be about 2.5 for the frame and 3.75 exposed mat so 6.25 total. Seems a bit much...Xander wrote:My Stampede frame is 2" on each side as well as the mat, so the final space around the print is 4" on each side (not floated).

Example of transporting oversized prints to the framers:
Flattened and ready to go...
Now off to see the WIZARD!!!
(no, not peacedog...I wish)

I think your mockup looks great. My framer always tells me to make sure the matting is a different width than the frame.....you could minimize the matting by at least .5 inch which would save a few bucks on the glass as well...museum glass has got to be spendy for that monster

Thanks! Decided on a 3" mat a while back....the frame is in but the framer is a week behind and won't get to it until next week The suspense it killing me.

Stampede - Went with a double mat set up - with a 4mm inner black mat and a 70mm white mat with simple white timber frame and conservation glass.
