Most frame shops sell pre-cut mats.

Geez. Yes, but their prices are almost nine or ten times what I pay for mattes.
I guess that is the price you pay for the inconvenience of buying online. Try
Wal-Mart.

sure, that works...if you want your artwork to look like it was framed
at wal-mart.

No, I frame them myself, using only standard frame sizes. So the standard
mattes from Wal-Mart are behind the glass.

Yes, light impressions is expensive. Try these folks, I use the regularly:

Prices and service are great. Same Nielsen aluminum frames, and they cut my
matte and backing boards to my exact specifications. I like this, because I
don't print everthing the same size (unlike my brother!).
