Hello all,
My mentor and I are planning on having an exhibition in March. For sure, we will get $1,200 grant from the university. Now, I am having problem in cutting down the costs for mat board and frame.
I looked up lots of websites, and found out that B&H offers nice price for pre-cut mat board 4-ply, it's around $69.5/5pack. Picturefram.com has frames (18x24'') for $17-$20/each. Due to the limited budget, I am $200 short.
I need help in finding cheaper frames and pre-cut mat boards.

Print size - 13x19'', will be 18x24'' including the frame
