Signature mat

[kra]

Here is a signature mat from my daughter's wedding last Saturday.
Name and date printed on mat. Now he has no excuses for not remembering their anniversary.

Very nice. I love signature mats as it is always nice, years later, to read the comments that people wrote for that special event. I have the frame/signature mat that we had for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary celebration. Means even more to me now that they have both passed away.

How did you get the name and date printed on the mat? It doesn't look hand printed.

I printed it with my Epson 7600 printer.

I printed it with my Epson 7600 printer.

Printed directly on the mat?

Great photo. BTW, how many signatures are on the mat and what size is it. My customers are always asking for guidelines.

Yes it is printed directly on the mat.
I would guess there are over 200 signatures on the mat (there were about 400 guests there).
Size is 8x8 photo centered in 20x20 mat (6" borders).

No I do not have a flat bed printer.
Just the regular Epson Stylus Pro 7600. It will print on ridged material up to the thickness of mat board. It feeds straight through.

Here are a couple of other photos with printing directly to mats. The photos were also printed from the same printer.

Thanks Kirstie,
It was fun working on my daughter's wedding.
Here are the portrait frames and a refrigerator magnet handout that we gave the guests(2.5"x2.5" photos, 5"x5" total). I have had several requests for similar handouts already.

Congrats Dad. They look like a fine couple. Nice framing by the way.
