Tom Mairs Standard Prints
What should I buy?
This subject
depends upon your budget, your taste in presentation and
knowledge.

The above prints are all the same (images A, B and C
left to right).
Framing Image A
1.
The image on the left is an 8 x 10 print of Coach
Paterno, which has been double matted (two mats to add
color and depth to the image). The underneath mat, in
this case is white and the mat on the top is blue.
Usually the darker mat is on the top, as it draws the
viewer's eyes to the image (picture).
2. Before
these mats are cut, the image is "heat fixed" on foam
core (a stiff foam product that can be easily cut to
different sizes). By "heat fixing" we mean attaching the
print to the foam core using a heat press at the spot on
the foam core that will allow the framer to place mats
around the print.In this case, the
mats were cut to allow space for the white inner and
blue outer mats to fit perfectly.
3. Final step
is cutting a custom wood frame to the correct
corresponding size for the matts. The frame then gets a
paper backing and wire for hanging. Cost of this product
framed accordingly is $139.00*

Image B
1. Foam core is cut to 11 x 14 size.
Image is "heat fixed" to foam core (see procedure detail
above). 2. An 11 x 14 white mat is cut to size with
an opening for the print to be seen. No other mats are
added, just a single white mat cut to 11 x 14 and
everything heat fixed to the foam core.
3.
Customer can purchase an 11 x 14 frame and drop matted
picture in. The illustration shows one that was
professionally finished with paper backing and a wire
for hanging and sells complete for $79.00*0*

and sold as is. Customer provides his/her own framing.
$45.00 complete*
Any of my standard prints are
priced this way for 8x10 prints. This is also sold as an
8x10 print alone (no matting) shipped to customer in a
tube and total price for shipping and print is $35.00
*Shipping for any of the matted prints is $15.00 for
one to three prints similar to above.
Any of my
"standard" prints in an 8 x 10 sized are priced like
this. Standard prints are 8x10, 16x20, 16x20, 20x24,
24x30, and 30x40. 11 X 14 is an 'odd' format, but is
priced in between an 8x10 and a 16x20 **
