Maximum paper sizes 13X19 with the maximized image size up too 12.75"X19.75", ideal for using mattes, so you can use 18X24 or larger frames, pending hoe large of a matte you like. Please specify what color matte, or leave it to our discretion.

Other sizes are 14 X 17, 11 X 14, 9 1/2 X 13, 8 X 10, 6 1/2 X 8 1/2

Mattes and Frames

Ideally we do not deal with providing mattes and frames, but if absolutely necessary we can.

Our frame maker of choice is .........., his work is impeccable and we have been using his frames in various gallery showings. Naturally you can use your own frame maker, but compared to commercial frames from frame stores, this is a great deal at much higher quality. Frames are These solid wood frames are available in Cherry, Walnut and Pine.

Frames are shipped directly from the frame maker to you, while the prints (and mattes) are shipped form us. We can make mattes for you, but it is more economically for you to have mattes made. All frames are shipped without glass except for New York City) Glass is heavy and likely to break during shipping), so you will need to get the glass cut to your specifications at your neighborhood hardware store, always get the inside frame about 1/4" larger than the print and glass size.
