Is anyone matting their prints ?

I just did two yesterday without mattes and they look cool, but I was just wondering...

Thanks to BG for the play by play during my purchase :) *hug*

i'm personally not a fan of matting unless its something smaller like a photo.
 
It totally depends on the art in the print. I framed and matted my Nouveau Leia which is pretty large and it came out great

I've also seen some of the universal monster prints triple matted and they are jaw dropping:

It greatly depends on the art in question and your taste. Not to mention your wallet :lol

This is key for me! That is why I only get like one or two framed a year.
 
I bought my first mat for a custom reframe job I was doing..at hobby lobby
a black acid free mat 35 7/8" x 20 7/8" came to $27! I thought it wouldve been cheaper .. I used the 40% off coupon which helped.. but I'll need to plan on those being pricier in the future. At least they didn't charge for cutting the opening for me.

Here is what I did..

Wow. I got in Toy Story, Avengers and Hulk. All of them are brilliant. I really, really love Hulk but they are all great.
