Why can you just take off the top mat and reuse the bottom one, so I only get charged for one?

Fusion 4000 is reversable

Local photographer gives a sheet of paper saying NOT to use glass on his pictures - very high quality digital prints-not mounted on anything.

All I ever hear: "The sheet says no glass"

I find this one worth mentioning again, as I heard the following on a television commercial selling limited edition artwork a few years ago...

"Be sure to order early and get the coveted low numbers within the edition!"

This sounds like another thread.

I'm with you Mayann, don't believe everything you read on the box.

Yeh, because once the print numbers get up around 250,000/500,000, the value is liable to be diminished a bit.

I love the one where the customer thinks any mat over an 1" wide will take away from the picture.

Hamster, I actually believe the customer thinks any mat over 1" will take away from their wallet.

You can start a framing business for $1500 and do well

Dave beat me to it!

I like the one that you can't go framing for at least a half hour after you eat. You'll get cramps.

Jerry, All ready out the door.

The sheet says do not use glass.

Boy, I hate it when customers come in with their portraits telling me the photographer said not to use glass. Come on people. If you live in west Texas and all the dust storms that comes with it , you need glass.
