Paper & Frame Info

Q: Prints are listed in cm and inches - what will be the size of my print?
We produce prints in both metric (cm) and imperial (inches) sizes. The sizing system used depends on the product type and your delivery location. In most cases, there's only a few millimetres difference between the metric and imperial conversions.

Q: How does the border affect the size of the print?
The total size of the print will always match the size you select. If you choose to add a border, it's included within that size and slightly reduces the image area.

Q: What are the dimensions if I order a framed print?
The size you select refers to the internal dimensions of the frame (the print size including any border). The frame molding adds approximately an inch to each side, so the outer framed dimensions will be about 2 inches larger in both height and width.
