I'd like to start mounting my prints.

Who has a mat cutter and can suggest where to get a good one and good supplies of mat boards?

Any suggestions as to how to learn this art?

Thanks!

I have used this one for 15 years but they might be a little difficult to find in a local shop now.

You can buy board at any art supply shop.

I have a Matmaster cutter from FrameCo, bought from a local art supplies store, but they also do on-line. Not cheap but is good.

My wife attended a 2 day course run by the Sydney Community College. There may be equivalents available in Adelaide. She also attended a course run by Frameco. They run courses in different areas of Australia ( including Adelaide ). The information is available on their site.

I bought the stuff but always had troubles with the corbners, but I was just using a rule and cutter - the corners always ended up as little crescents. Do those matt cutters like the altosezmat and the Matmaster overcome this problem?
