This 25-pack of aged white 32 x 40" Conservation Mat Boards from Lineco is used to mount and window mat photographs, posters, or flat art for display. Doing this also protects the paper materials from handling and gives longevity to the pieces.

The boards have a high alpha-cellulose conservation core and have been buffered with 3% calcium carbonate, which will protect against acid migration. The pigmented boards are also bleed and fade resistant. In addition, these boards can be cut down to smaller sizes.

Q: 7. Will this also cut a straight edge? Like a regular paper cutter or is this only for mats? I'm looking for something that could pull double duty as something that will also trim my large images instead of putchasing a separate paper cutter + mat cutter.Thanks!

A: This may cutter, like Logan's other mat cutters, does come with both a straight cutter (intended for mats or foam core) and a bevel cutter (intended for cutting bevels on mats). It may be impracticable, though, to use the straight cutter for cutting a substrate much thinner than mat or foam, as the cutting board has a groove in which the blade of the straight cutter rides. For a thick substrate like foam or matboard (2- or 4-ply) that is rigid on its own there is no risk of an inconsistent cut due to material bending down into that groove, but with a thinner material that might be a risk. The thinnest material I've cut on my Logan mat cutter was linen (trimming the linen on a linen-backed piece of art), which worked fine, but for anything thinner for which you want absolutely precise cuts you might be better off with a good straightedge (the Logan Adapt-A-Rule is excellent -- I have the 40-inch model) and a sharp knife on a cutting surface without such a groove as this has. That said, for mats and foam I wouldn't use anything other than this device; it's really quite excellent.
