Re: [artshow_photo] Backing for a simple Matted print.

Either an additional sheet of mat board or 1/8 inch thick fome core.
The mat board is thinner and works if you're putting matted prints in
a display bin because you can fit more prints. The fome core is good
for a donation because it makes your work look more professional.
Unframed prints should be protected by clear archival bags from
