Should I put borders on my prints? 

Sorry for the delay! My borders depend on what roll im printing on and how much space I have. I like 1".

I would have printed the image to fit the mat correctly.

I guess for some. I don’t charge the full amount for the blank white space. The blank white also has a very different look than a mat. Adding the white border as a matte is something I can suggest but I never push my clients that way. It’s a personal choice and something people very rarely pick from my experience.

@@jjrod666 Hence I am doing some test prints & can hopefully offer both options. Borderless means some of the image gets cropped. Also poster frame sizes to be closest to my painting ratio. I have to pay for the white space trimmed to a standard frame. Client could have trimmed if get professionally framed. I am trying to offer to a more affordable price point. Shipping can be astronomical overseas. I am in New Zealand and the printing company I am working in is also. Not sure of risky to try use overseas companies. When looked at some overseas giclee options, there are different papers etc to ones I am lookinb at using in New Zealand so can get confusing. Talking to some New Zealand artists they said most of their clients are in New Zealand.

When i print borderless no crop is needed. I trim the image to the edge allowing for the full image. I wish you were closer love to help!

@@jjrod666 my image isn't the exact proportions so some of the image will be cut off, hence doing some test prints to see what I prefer

@@jjrod666 got my test prints. The border looked really good with the paper I chose. Going to go with that to keep things simple. Customer has option of standard frame or can have custom framed if wants the border cut off.

I think 1"

Several reasons. Printing borderless fills up the maintenance cartridge, which is costly to replace. Printing borderless means you lose the edge of the image. You can’t print full bleed when you print borderless. And also, I’m often printing sizes that don’t correspond with my roll sizes so it’s not an option.

I have never spaced the print from the glass. Im happy to mention it to my local framing shop and see what they say!

@@phototocanvaspdx thanks 👍

it just looks better. Some people use different colors, and some matts show the core. Add some depth too.

Both that’s the point of the video. Generally outside.

I’m not sure I understand the question? Lots of people don’t want to use white frames…
