Failure to mark FX boundary lines on additional matting yields which deduction?

• A. Flat 0.50
• B. Flat 0.30
• C. Flat 0.10
• D. Flat 2.00

Answer: (C)

Marking FX boundary lines on additional matting is about clearly indicating where the artwork ends so the matting can be placed and cut precisely. When those boundary lines aren’t marked, it signals a minor lapse in attention to detail rather than a fundamental framing error. The scoring system then assigns a small penalty to reflect this minor documentation/precision issue, which is why the deduction is 0.10. Larger deductions would come from more serious problems, such as incorrect dimensions, misalignment, or use of inappropriate materials, which would justify bigger penalties.
