Default Purchase Mats from?

Hello,

I was wondering where everyone purchases their mats from?

Give these folks a try. You can actually *talk* to them.

Imagine that.

I cut my own matts so I buy the precut boards in the sizes I need and then cut out the opening the way I want it. I purchase my precut boards from Light Impressions - http://www.lightimpressionsdirect.co...OnlineShopping

They do have cut matts also so you do not have to cut them yourself.

What mat cutter do you use, I am thing about get some type of cutter just am not sure which one to get. It is just a pain to have to go and get the mats cut every time I need another one.

I use an alto matt cutter, but a logan matt cutter would work well also.

That makes me feel better, that is what I have been looking at the Logan 750 Simplex Plus Mat Cutter it only around $230 and from what I can find out it is a good one.

Thanks
