Framed prints: printing and framing in one job

Why print and frame in the same place

When the printing is done in one place and the framing in another, the frame always adapts to a print that already exists. It sounds trivial, but that is exactly where problems start: a print that came out 30x40 cm now needs a 30x40 frame, and if you wanted a mat around it, the mat either eats into the picture or forces a bigger frame than you planned.

With us the order is reversed. First we decide how the picture should look on the wall, including the width of the mat and molding, and only then print to exactly the size that completes it. The result sits in the frame with no compromises and no cropping of details you wanted to keep.

What to bring and how it works

Bring the file, on your phone, on a USB stick, or sent beforehand on WhatsApp. We go over it together on screen, check that the resolution holds the size you want, and decide on the print size.

Then we move to the frame: we lay molding samples next to the picture, try a few shades and widths, and see whether a mat improves it or is unnecessary. After you approve, we print, frame, and hand back finished work, most jobs within two business days.

Paper or canvas

For a framed picture we almost always print on photo paper: it gives sharp detail and accurate color, and goes into a frame with glass the way it should. Canvas is a different route: it is stretched over an inner wooden frame and hangs without glass, so it is usually not the choice when you want a classic frame around the picture.

What people frame this way

Most common: family and children's photos that live on a phone and were never printed, wedding photos, and travel photos for the hallway wall. After that, certificates and diplomas, where the print is usually a PDF that arrived by email.

In every case the advantage is the same: you do not have to leave with a print in hand and go looking for a frame. You arrive with a file and leave with something you can hang.

What it costs

The price has two parts: the print, by size, and the framing, by the molding, glass and mat chosen. So there is no flat price list: a picture of the same size can land in a wide range, depending on whether you chose a thin, simple molding or a wide, ornate one. You get an exact quote at the studio on the spot, after we have seen the file and chosen a frame, with no obligation and no need to book.
