I¹m preparing a piece on mounting and matting, and studying much existing
literature on the subject, I ran across many confusing terms. Trying to
makes sense of all of them and trying to define some standard terms, I came
up with the following descriptions.
*****
Mounting board, matting board and backing board are terms, referring to the
?raw¹, stationery materials used.
Mount-board, mat-board and backboard are usable sheets, cut to size from the
above materials, and removing the window opening from the mat-board, turns
it lastly into a functional ?window¹ over-mat or just a mat.
Mount is a general term, referring to the mounting style or the entire
assembly but without the frame.
*****
Any opinions, or are these generally acceptable and understandable?
