Re: Re: Optimized Print and Mat sizes.

That is a good plan only if you happen to need 2 16x20, and some small sizes. Most of the time you would be wasting mat board. If you have a wholesale framing supply co in your area a 32X40 is only about 6$. So 4 16X20's works out to about 1.50 each. Mat board is about the least expensive part of the framing project.
