'''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 projection 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 to the full height of the frame, regardless of intended projection 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.
