Critical Information Regarding Fine Art Print Sizes and Ordering

Whether you order your print as a full bleed (image is printed to the edge of the paper) or with a 1/2 inch white border is dependent upon how your print will be framed. The paper size will always equal the size of the print you ordered.  The image size will correspond to whether or not you ordered a full bleed or a bordered print.

For example: When I frame an image, I do not use a traditional matting style, which necessitates having a border around the photograph.  I bleed the image all the way to the edge of the paper and 'Float' the image above the matt material.  Thus, utilizing my framing method, I do not need a border around the image and the image size is true to the quoted print size.

However, if you intend to use a traditional matt and frame methodology (and most of you probably will) then I recommend purchasing your photograph with a 1/2 inch white border.  The actual image will be slightly smaller than the ordered size, but the paper will be equal to the ordered size.  For instance, a 16x24 print with a 1/2 inch white border will have a 16x24 paper size, with a 15x23 inch image size.

The person who frames your print will then be able to apply the traditional methodology when creating your framed and matted image.

Framing

If you want your image framed, I will be happy to do so.  I offer one frame style which I created to best display my work.

I do not put glass in front of my photgraphy.  I 'float' the image above the background matt material.  Sample Framed Photograph

The photograph is mounted on 3/16" gator board.  This is the material that makes a paper print into a stiff, flat photograph.

I then 'float' that photograph 3/16" above a piece of museum quality rag matt material which extends 3" beyond the photograph on all sides.

The matt material is either White (2 choices of white), Black, Rust, Roma Brown, Lapis or Moss Green.  I will discuss with you the best color choice for your chosen photograph as I prepare your order.

The mounted and matted photograph is then framed in a black recessed metal frame.  This enhances the look of the image floating in the center of the final framed piece.
