'''Hard Matte''' is a term used to describe prints which are masked close to their intended aspect ratio, as opposed to [[Open Matte]], which is printed full height regardless of intended aspect ratio. This mask may be applied in the camera, printer, or in a digital intermediate. | '''Hard Matte''' is a term used to describe prints which are masked close to their intended aspect ratio, as opposed to [[Open Matte]], which is printed full height regardless of intended aspect ratio.

'''Hard Matte''' prints are rarely printed to an exact aspect ratio. For example, a 1.85:1 matted print may actually be 1.80:1 to allow for some wiggle room for venues with undercut aperture plates. | '''Hard Matte''' prints are rarely printed to an exact aspect ratio.
