My company is reviewing our mat opening (artwork size) and frame sizes (size with and without mat). If there are any sizes you feel we should carry please let us know.

Thanks,
mark

I exclusively use 18x22inch frames for 11x14inch prints.These sizes work well for me to cut the required boards from 32x40 inch mats.

Why not 19x22 so you have a 4 inch border all the way around?

I would frame a 11"x14" in a 16"x20" frame.

I personally mostly frame 16x20" in ~24x28", the latter being half of a super-sized (800x1200ish) mat board.

A 16x16 in your "Ready-Made" would be cool.

I can vouch for the quality of the GroGlass ArtCare Water White. I have used it several times over the last few years.

I was framing my last Dead Link Removed, at Haven Studio Gallery in Wyoming, and I have used this glass. I am pleased to say that the shipment, which I got from Frame Destinations last September, arrived in a perfect shape, cut very well and attractively priced. The only complaint I have is that some visitors were more amazed by "surely there is no glass here, I can't see it!" than the photographs...
