I've recently begun to make 16x20 prints on 17x25 paper on my Epson 3800 and they are quite lovely. I have traditionally mounted my 11x14 prints on 16x20 4 ply mat board, cut from 32x40 sheets (4/sheet) with an 16x20 overmat. When I used traditional silver gelatin paper, I dry mounted them. I now use corners since the inkjet paper lies nice and flat. John Sexton and others have recommended that 16x20 prints should be mounted on 22x28 boards.
Is there a way to avoid using an entire sheet of 32x40 board, twice! to mount a 16x20 print? Are there sources of less expensive 22x28 boards? Or shall I just suck it up and use two full boards?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Eric
