Artistic Oversize Prints

Artistic Oversize prints to give your images a punch

Artistic oversize prints are a great choice to set your prints apart. Put your work above the competition!!

Artistic Oversize Prints are printed at the requested size on oversized paper. For example if you are looking for a 8×10 print done as an oversize print then I would suggest you print it on at least a 8.5×11 paper. This would leave some white borders and at the same time it increases the perceived value of the print.

Traditionally when you ask for bordered prints at most labs they are actually smaller than the requested size. When you request a 8×10 print with a traditional border the final print size will be close to 7.25×9.25 to get your border. Printing a smaller image size causes issues when framing.  With artistic oversize prints the print will be the requested size with extra white around the outside, great for signing as well!

Artistic Oversize prints – The benefits:

1) Actual requested print size
2) You can handle the area around the print or it can be used to hang the print from this white area or mounted behind a mat without affecting the image area
3) Extra space outside of the image can be used for signature, description or additional information that will not intrude on the image
4) Many framers and galleries also like the extra space with an oversize print so no part of the image is lost when framed or matted

Print pricing for my artistic oversized prints are based on the paper size used to print the image.

You can also select offset borders. By doing this it will leave a border that is larger on the bottom than the top of the print to allow for a signature.
