Default Selling prints

I would like to start selling some of my prints at local markets. I need help in finding the proper way to mount large prints and where to purchase mat material and some type of clear plastic sheet to put them into. Please if anyone has any information for me, it sure would help a bunch.

All from google about a year ago. Took about 1/2 hour to assemble the list back then. I've revisited each web site many times since.

www.documounts.com Look under the Documount 101 tab.

www.framedestination.com Click on Mounting Techniques in the Resources box upper left.

Google also has plenty of photo bags listed with "photo clear bags" as search terms.

I've seen and talked with a few at the PPA shows but never purchased. All seem to offer good products for reasonable prices. No one in particular stood out.

I use ezmats.com and clearbags.com Both are inexpensive and the delivery time is very fast. I have been using them for years. I also do a local market every saturday from April-Sept, so if you have any more questions, let me know.
