Being a photographer involves a fair amount of printing, and although not all prints are deemed as fine-art prints for sale, matting your artwork adds to the printing process its own excitement and has many advantages.
While you can certainly hand to your client one of your images as a “print-only” (and sometimes this is exactly what the client wants), a mounted print has a much greater impact on the viewer and will be more sellable, especially if you can do a quality and reasonably priced job at mounting it.

I recommend this program a lot. It has helped me tremendously when trying to figure out what size I need to print an image if it is to go into a specific mat or frame size. Yes, I know how to calculate it by hand, but sometimes visually seeing it on screen helps more. I can print my clients work to 1/2" increment requests, and MatWorks helps me easily figure it out. Thank you Giorgio.
