MARGIN FOR ERROR
Order Giclée Prints from Pigmento
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is strongly recommended to include a white border (or margin) when producing your prints. This white border serves multiple crucial purposes that enhance the overall handling and longevity of your printed work. Firstly, it facilitates ease of manipulation, allowing for a comfortable grip without the risk of smudging or touching the actual image area.
Furthermore, when it comes to framing your prints, the presence of a white border facilitates framing.|
Equally important, the white border serves as a strategic buffer in the event of any damage to the paper. By extending beyond the edges of the image, the border acts as a sacrificial area, absorbing potential wear and tear. This precautionary measure helps preserve the integrity of the actual printed content, ensuring that any harm is contained within the expendable white margin.
For optimal results in print sizes ranging from A5 to A4, we recommend a margin of 3-5mm. Moving up from A4 to A3, a slightly broader margin of 10mm (just over 3/8 inch) is advised. As you transition from A3 to A2, a margin of 15mm (just shy of 5/8 inch) is recommended. For A2 and larger prints, a standard service margin of 20-25mm is advised.
It’s important to note that these margin suggestions are tailored to enhance the aesthetic and functional aspects of your prints, ensuring a balanced and visually appealing presentation. However, we understand that preferences vary, and we always verify your desired margins before proceeding with production.
Should you prefer borderless prints, rest assured that the margin recommendations above are offered as guidance rather than strict rules.
Pigmento prints are fully customizable, available in any size or ratio, adhering to standard dimensions or unconventional ones, and can be produced either with or without borders. Your preferences dictate our approach, and we are committed to delivering prints that align precisely with your artistic vision.
