Archival Methods 4-Ply Antique White 100% Cotton Museum Board contains 25 boards that measure 9 x 12" each. The board is a high-quality mat board used for many fine print and document projects. Whether for traditional print or digital technology, this board will provide a solid, acid-free backing that is perfect for display purposes. It can also be used for small mat cutting where, for example, a 2-ply board will provide a 1/32" separation between the work and the glazing.  

Your best print deserves the best mount possible. Presentation is half the battle and Archival Methods gives you the way to show off your best work. This is quality board designed for archival display.

For window mats and mat backing, Archival Methods recommends a thickness of 4-Ply, which creates a 1/16" separation between artwork and glazing and provides a flat, supportive backing.

Q: 7. Can the binocular attachment be removed or can the camera be attached to the chest area?

A: It's a very handy vest for when you're walking/hiking and don't want to have to hold on to, or be concerned with, something flopping around chest or side while you're doing that. It's very easy to attach or remove from the vest in one quick motion. The camera or binocs. are very secure once attached. The only downside of this system in the mounting peg must use a tool (allen wrench) to attach /detach it to the equipment. Also, there are small parts (ie., screw) that would easily get dropped or lost while going through this changing process. That was my bidggest concern in the field. There are better camera mounting systems (ie, single piece systems that do not need tools or have loose parts) out there that do not need tools or have loose parts to have to deal with if you want to change to a tripod plate or a different carrying strap. I talked directly to the president of the Cotton Carrier company about this.For the practical aspect of hands-free, secure carrying system while hiking or trekking, it's outstanding.
