Standard Sizes Available

We offer a wide range of standard print sizes, including A5 to A0 and popular inch sizes from 4x6" up to 40x30". Most artwork and photography sizes are covered within our standard range.

Custom Sizes

Need a custom size? Simply choose the next size up that your required dimensions fit within and add your exact size requirements in the order notes. We'll trim your print to size before dispatch.

Size Guide

If you need to check any sizes, we've got a handy size guide further down the page. It has cm and inch conversions.

White Borders

White borders are popular in giclee printing as they are useful for framing and also signing and numbering limited edition prints.

We will scale your art with a suitable white border based on scale and paper size. If you have a preference on border width, let us know in the notes section.

Note: If you select a white border, it’s printed within your chosen size — the paper size stays the same. For example, an A3 print with a white border still measures A3 overall, with your artwork reduced slightly to fit the border. If you select “no border”, your image will print full bleed, right to the edges of the paper.

Resizing Artwork

We can help re-size your artwork for the print size you order. We will check your artwork is the correct ratio and make sure it fits well on the paper size selected. If your artwork is a different ratio to the ordered size, we will be able to make a custom sized print at the closest size to the ordered size.

We can work with a wide variety of artwork, image and file types.

We manually check every file before printing. If we spot any obvious issues, we'll get in touch before production.

Ideal specification:

- Colour format: RGB or CMYK
- Resolution: 300 dpi +
- File format: JPEG, PDF, PSD, AI
- 8 bit or 16 bit
- Flattened files where possible

We print using 12 ink colours which means we can replicate RGB colours more closely than 4 colour CMYK prints.
