My Artwork is 10in x 16 in. I want a 1/2 inch of a white border around my Art to show. How do I calculate the size Mat for my Art?
@Blick_Art Жыл бұрын
Not every artist uses standard mat widths- some like a big, generous border- but almost everyone agrees that the border needs to be proportional to the artwork and not stingy. Most of the time, you'll want the top and sides the same width, and more on the bottom. Logan gives a great online calculator for figuring out the balance between art, mat, and frame: www.logangraphic.com/learning-center/border-calculator/index.php
@jimstaceyclaytonmariawasen48638 жыл бұрын
I would think you would not want the mat whole to be exacly the same as your picture so that it does not "fall" through the whole. Like 1/4 inch smaller whole than the picutre??
@Blick_Art8 жыл бұрын
+Jim, Stacey, Clayton, Maria Wasenius Yes, you are correct. You do not want to cut the window the exact same size as the sheet with the artwork on it. In this case the paper is actually bigger and the size the demonstrator is working with is the actual printed area (just the image). A ¼” is a good rule of thumb to follow if your artwork goes from one edge of the paper to the other.

What keeps the mat board from sliding as you push the blade through it?
@Blick_Art8 жыл бұрын
+Jennifer Pedneau There are two things that keep the mat board from moving. First the demonstrator is pushing down on the guide rail to hold the mat in place while he makes the cuts. Second, a new sharp blade moves more easily through the board and is less likely to pull unnecessarily on the board. You should consider changing your blades after every 5 to 10 cuts (depending on the lengths of those cuts). If you have additional questions, you can reach Blick Product Information at 1-800-933-2542 or info@dickblick.com. Thanks!

anyone know what he used to mount the actual picture to the backing? was it the same transfer adhesive, spray, double sided tape?
@Blick_Art8 жыл бұрын
+sgvpotter While he did not actually mount the artwork in the frame, the following could have been used - the transfer tape, hinging tape or mounting corners. Spray adhesive is not recommended because it can damage the artwork and completely gluing the item down does not allow it to expand or contract with the temperature and humidity.

That's called a weighted mat and is simply a choice some people make. It increases cost of framing because you need a larger frame, glass mat, etc...but is a very nice look.

Chad Henry In the case of this video they used the ATG Tansfer Adhesive that they used to hold the mat and backing together. Keep in mind that this is a permanent adhesive and while acid free, not necessarily the preferred method. For an archival, removable option, we recommend these @products/lineco-see-thru-mounting-strips/ .

+Blick Art Materials- @ Laura Miller . You can use acid free mounting tape . They also have this stuff that framers use that looks more like paper tape . You just tear a little piece off and dip it lightly in a small bowl of water to make it stick , then just put the little piece on the top of the print so it won't show . I'd stay away from that acid free spray adhesive . It can make a mess by getting on the outside front of the mat and then your out about $4 to $6 bucks . Also if you just use tape and want to use the mat for something else later , you can pull it apart and do so .

whats the math for multiple images in one mounting board?
@Blick_Art9 жыл бұрын
geostigmaX9 Basically the easiest way to start is to add your opening sizes together so you’re working with a single number. If you have two 5” x 7” pictures, first add the two image sizes together, so you know you’re working with about 10” x 7” total. Using the subtract and divide by 2 formula, you can see that your borders would be about 2” in an 11” x 14” mat. Then you decide how much space you want between the two windows (which is flexible, but should be less than the approximate border of 2”). You also need to decide the exact opening size to cut, which is usually ½” smaller than the picture, but this, too, is flexible. If you keep the opening that ½” smaller and have 1” of space between the openings, your borders will be 2” for the long dimension and 2.25” for the short, so that’s how far in you would measure from the sides of the mat. If you would like additional assistance, please feel welcome to contact our Product Information team at 1-800-933-2542.

But how did you do the math for the matboard before doing the math to get 4 inches for the spacing?
@Blick_Art5 ай бұрын
Here, the outside dimensions of the board are simply the inside size of the frame that the matted artwork needs to fit. Deciding how large a frame and mat you'll need for a given piece of artwork is mostly about what looks balanced and brings the artwork to its best appearance. Too skinny a border looks unbalanced and awkward, and although it's tempting to try to economize and cut smaller to get an extra piece out of a full sheet of board, it's not worth it if the result detracts from the final appearance. We think the 4" borders here look balanced with the artwork, although some might decide to go a little taller so the top and sides could all be the same width, and the bottom could be a little larger. Above all else, decide based on what looks good to your eye and the framed size you think best complements the art. Hope this helps!
