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!
