| | | Printing advice
I have had quite a bit of interest from people wanting to buy prints from my website and I was after some advice with regards to printing and framing. What is the best way to get around the difference between shape frame/frame apertures (Seemingly most commonly 5 x 7) and the camera ratio (6 x 4). Do you crop pictures for framing? I was also wondering whether people think it might be a good idea to leave a blank white border around photographs when no mount is being used and where a signature could be placed? Any advice from people who have taken the steps to printing and selling photographs would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

If you are considering producing a number of framed prints for sale you might find it worth while going to a specialist company.
When considering something similar I discovered this company. Home - Professional Printing, Photobooks Printing, Canvas Wraps, Photo albums - Colorworld Imaging
They do everything for you and send the finished product to your customers.
I never went down the semi pro road myself so haven't actually used that company; although they appear to be highly regarded. Obviously there is a slight price factor to be considered but possibly not as much as you might expect.
Otherwise Kayleigh's previous post covers everything in detail. |

Thanks guys. So the best bet to deal with the discrepancy in the dimensions of the file and the dimensions of the aperture of the frame is to crop the 6 x 4 file to 7 x 5? I don't understand why I cant find any frames that are 6 x 4 in the shops! Thanks for the link, I was planning on getting the prints done online and to send them out myself when I receive them so I can be 100% happy with the final thing (I have had some come back under exposed and bad quality in the past) but i will look into this now. I am nearly sorted now, I just need to work out cost and payment details. Thanks again!
