I have made a number of 8 x 10 photo mattes with a 5x7 opening (often as gifts for newborn baby pix) . I normally just raster the name, birthdate and other particulars in standard matte board. I use masking paper over the entire matte to prevent discoloration of the matte, but I still get the normal laser discoloration in the rastered letters and around the edge of the vector cut 5x7 opening.


I have played with fonts that I can vector cut, but all I have found are stencil type fonts and that isn't too cool for baby pix.

So...my questions are.. Does anyone have have any samples of picture mattes that they are proud of that I can plagiarize....does anyone have a better material than matte board that might work better and finally, does anyone have a font(s) that could be vector cut which are less military/stencil looking?

Thanx
