Why do I need a border on my art print?
If you are framing with a window mat, it is much easier to position and fasten the print behind the mat if there is a little extra margin to work with. A window for an 8x10" print is sized at 7.5 x 9.5", leaving very little room for error if the print is cut to 8x10" exactly.
With a border there is more room for you to attach the tape behind the mat. The framing job will be less fiddly and there will be no danger that your print will end up falling through the hole. Your framer will thank you too!

What is the difference between the paper choices?
Galleria Fresco art prints are printed using two printing techniques on two high quality papers.
Satin Gloss Photo prints have more of a glossy photographic feel with a subtle satin sheen, using Kodak Endura Professional Photographic Paper.
Matte Archival Watercolor prints have a matte finish with the feel of a heavy weight watercolor paper, using Somerset Velvet, acid free 100% cotton rag paper.
Both papers offer vivid color reproduction and capture the rich details of the original oil painting.
What printer & ink do you use?
Satin Gloss Photo prints are Chromogenic Prints, or C-Prints and are produced like a traditional photograph. The paper is light sensitive and the image is produced by light and then a chemical process.
Matte Archival Watercolor prints are printed using Epson Ultrachrome HDR pigment inks on Epson Stylus Pro 9900 printers for a lifetime of glorious lasting color.
