Archival Methods 40-408 Museum Board (16 x 20", Bright White, 25 Boards)
Archival Methods Museum 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.
Note! 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

Sizing Agents
- Internal Sizing
- Sizing agents are used to prevent liquid from being absorbed into the board during the manufacturing process. There are three types of internal sizing: acid sizing, neutral sizing, alkaline sizing. This is done to strengthen the inside fibers of the board
- External Sizing
- This is a process used to enhance the surface properties of the board (i.e. matte, glossy) and are characterized by the use of a alkaline pH-8.5 starch
- No alum is used in the manufacturing process

Comments about Archival Methods 40-408 Museum Board (16 x 20", Bright White, 25 Boards):
I needed the board to finish a photo portfolio, and had availability problems getting it from some where else. I never tried Archival Method's museum board, but I needed some white 4ply board, now! I took my chances, and was very pleased. It was very white, clean, and strait cut. (Yes, strait. Don't take this for granted, because it comes from a factory pre-cut). Pre-cut board I bought in the past didn't live up to these standards. I will definitely buy this board for future projects!
