'''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''' 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.
