Quick Question On Print Dimensions And Borders

I've never actually physically seen a print produced by FAA in person.

On the image marketing page, print dimensions are listed something like:

Image: 16.00" x 10.63"
Overall: 18.00" x 12.63"

...indicating, what I always assumed, was 2 inches of white border space around the actual image. Even if you take a print order (no framing, just a print) to the shopping cart, the 2 inch border is indicated by the listed dimensions of the order.

But, I just noticed, when a print is sold (again, just the print with no framing) - on the page that gives details about the sale - the dimensions are listed as:

Image Size: 16.00" x 10.63"
Total Size: 16.00" x 10.63"

...indicating full bleed and no border.

Does anyone know which is the actual case?

I ask in regards to being able to offer standard-sized prints with 4:5 or 2:3 aspect ratios, for example. I always thought having an added 2 inch border would make that impractical...

The unframed prints I have ordered from FAA have had a border.

You're welcome!

I have never ordered unstretched canvas, but I'd be willing to bet that has a border as well.

Yes...the prints I've ordered have the border. It's actually a one inch border~

 

One inch on each side. Quoted from the site:

"When ordered without a frame, all paper prints include a 1" white border to allow for future matting and framing."
