black border 'after the fact'

Am at the lab right now and I have found what we used years ago

It is called Xenophon fine art masking system.

Give google a try and see if that would be helpful
 

I used a black mat.
 
Found nothing using Duck Duck Go, Google or Ebay
Maybe they are no longer available. Next week when I go into my darkroom class I will take some photos and post if anyone is interesed
 

There has been a "Versamask" produced, very precise cut with an outer frame and an inner insert for burning in. It has been made of steel for nearly every size of paper. Production has been stopped in 2010 or so. The last I heard there is a follow up produced with a different name nowadays.

+1 for making a mask.
