    Some more detail on your exact requirements would be helpful. For starters Charrette, www.Charrette.com carries a good selection of mat board in sizes up to 40x60. They carry a variety of foam, gatorboard, etc. in sizes up to 48x96. Basically if any of the major suppliers manufacture it then Charrette sells it. If yu can give some more details on framing equipment and cutters we can help more.

    You may want to check you local art/framing stores. University Art in Sacramento carries 30" x 40" matt board for $6.80 each. I'm not sure on the price of the larger boards, but I bet local prices will be better than anything on the net when you account for shipping charges.

    I have been searching for hours trying to find a mat board and foam core that will be big enough to mount my work. I went to the wevsite below www.Charrette.com and the largest they had was 40x60. I was hoping someone knew a larger size. My image is 20x70. Thanks if anyone knows anything.

    The largest standard size in the USA is 40x60 inches. Precious little is available any bigger. For this reason I've never printed images this size on paper - only on canvas which I can mount on stretcher bars and frame like an oil painting. It wasn't what I wanted, but it works really well.

    I get it mounted to something like a big sheet of Dibond (I think it comes that long? if not, maybe Alcubond does)

    I think I saw 48x96 at SamFlax in Atlanta the last time I was there, not sure, I usually lose my mnd when I'm there because there is so much cool stuff.
