Please use white paper/cardstock as any background colours form part of the design.

Standard copy or printer paper is fairly thin (paper weight: 80-90gsm), I’d advise using a slightly heavier weight of paper such as 100 gsm.

Please note that printing on heavier/textured paper will absorb more ink and dull the colours, costing you more.

Aspect ratio is nothing more than a size relationship between the long and short sides of a photo. That is why it is important to use the right ratio file to avoid image cropping while printing.

All our prints come in different ratio files. This way you can choose the ratio that suits the size you wish to print. All files are scalable.

Use 4:5 ratio file for printing 4x5, 8x10, 11x14, 12x15, 16x20 inch.

Use 3:4 ratio file for printing: 6x8, 9x12, 12x16, 15x20, 18x24 inch.

Use 2:3 ratio file for printing 4x6, 6x9, 8x12, 10x15, 12x18, 16x24, 20x30, 24x36 inch.

Use PaperSize (ISO) file for printing: 5"x7", A5, A4, A3, A2, A1, 50x70cm

Use print-11x14 file for printing 11"x14" inch

1. Print at home

This is the easiest, cheapest, and fastest method!

You can use an inkjet or laser color printer. It is best to print on a high quality paper such as a premium matte cardstock for best results. Since most readily available cardstock and printer paper is 8.5 x 11 you will need to trim the paper if your printable is 8 x 10 for example.

Before printing, make sure your printer settings are set up for high quality printing, high quality paper (if using it).

FRAMING YOUR PRINT:

You will need : your frame, your print and a roll of framers tape, or for cheaper option, masking tape.

Remove all packaging from your frame, take out the backing board, paper insert and the mount if there is any.

Give a glass quick clean down with glass cleaner to remove dust or marks. You'll be glad you did!

*Skip next step if your frame doesn't have mount

Place the mount on the table face down and lay your print over the aperture also face down. Use your tape to tack the corners down.
