For Matboard, I usually use Crescent Rag Mat. Rag Mat is made out of cotton, not wood-based fibers, so it has the advantages of: brighter, whiter core will not yellow over time safer for your original cels You can still use regular wood-fiber(aka paper) based, 100% acid free matboard, but if you want the better archival quality, use a cotton based matboard. (The whiter core is the main reason I prefer it). If you can't find Crescent Rag Mat, look for any cotton-based matboard. It costs more than Regular wood-based matboard, but since I usually cut matboards myself, the cost difference isn't much. But when you get it customed framed, sometimes the difference between the two materials can be $10-$20. I puchase Ragmat at Pearl, an art supply store, or at a wholesale store near my house called Valley Frame and Moulding. (They charge 10Illegal seekore, with a minimum of 4 sheets, since I'm not a wholesale person.) Average price: about $8 or less per sheet |
