Hi
I am with normhead, do it yourself, nothing to it.
Originally posted by Jodokast96 I don't do enough to justify the expense of a cutter for myself.
Expense ? What expense. I bought a little LOGAN hand cutter many years ago for $40.00 (and they are not much more now). I have done hundreds of mats with it, no problem. All you need is a sturdy straight edge, a steel ruler and some cardboard to cut on. Don't use those green plastic cutting pads as the blade cannot penetrate it when cutting.
Don't forget a commercial framer will need to charge you to make a profit, this profit margin will buy you the cutter. And once you have the cutter you may be getting into this a bit more and do more framing in future. For a photographer it is a good investment. (I do my own framing as well.)
Greetings
