We hear you. This took us a while to figure out too.
The global print and photography industry is littered with inconsistencies when it comes to print size, photograph dimensions, frame measurements and mount openings. It is common to see one print shop or a photographer selling prints in various sizes and dimensions to another. This can result in confusion, frustration and sometimes disappointment.
We strive to do our best to make everything clear and consistent for you.
The prints are available in four different sizes, but not all prints are available for purchase in every size or measurement you see in the shop. Each print comes with a white border to maintain a clean style when displayed, while some come with typography to add a trendy and modern look to the print.
Here are the available sizes in the shop:
30 x 40 cm / 12 x 16”
50 x 70 cm / 20 x 28”
60 x 80 cm / 24 x 32”
70 x 100 cm / 28 x 40″ (only available with frameless prints)
Before considering a purchase there are two important terms to understand and differentiate.
the “print paper size” means how big the paper size is.
the “printed photo size” means how big the printed image is.
So for example, a 30 cm x 40 cm print order means the total paper size (print paper size) is 30 cm x 40 cm. The actual image on the paper (printed photo size) is 20.1 cm x 29.1 cm due to the inclusion of the white border on all sides. Now do note that you will only see the ‘Print Paper Size’ option for FRAMELESS prints.
As for framed prints, you will see ‘Size’ option to choose a framed print size of your desire.
Since Ikea sells budget-friendly frames, we’ve used their frame measurement as a benchmark.
A good example of Ikea’s frame that is sold with the mount opening is HOVSTA and RIBBA. FISKBO is the most affordable among the three but does not come with a mount opening. So for that reason, each print comes with a white border to maintain a clean style when displayed.
