square mats for my 6x6

[sfcole]

I've checked a number of sites selling pre-cut mat boards, but I have yet to find what I need:

a square opening for 16x20 frames. (It's either square mat with square frame, or rectangular mat with

rectangular frame.)

 

Any suggestions for where to buy pre-cut square mats for rectangular frames?

thanks

I've gotten rectangular mats with square openings from them before -

their website is very interactive.

Do you center the print between the ends of the 20 inch side?

For square prints I put the 20" dimension vertical and use "optical centering" (but I cut my own mats).

I've priced some 'custom' cut mats at this site: http://documounts.com/content/home

 

The site is advertised in Outdoor Photography. The prices seem very reasonable. I, too, was looking for a 10"x10" opening in a 16x20 mat. Looking to have the mat vertical with even borders on the top and sides, leaving it heavily weighted on the bottom.

You can get a free custom cut mat (you specify the border widths)when you purchase a frame at americanframe.com

Heck, I'm looking for 5X5" or 10X10" square archival photo pages--but no one's been able to point me in the right direction...any new readers have any ideas?

 

This is the problem with shooting square--although I still love my Hassy.

Just get your own mat cutter and cut your own - it soon works out much cheaper!

I second what Antonio suggested. I bought a mat cutter and archivial mat board and cuti it by myself, it's cheaper and it's funny too. Furthermore you can use also the square you cut away, so with a single piece you can make 2 mat board: 1 rectangular and 1 (smaller) square.
