Print Layout Options: Original Ratio or Full Frame?
In fine art prints, the choice of layout directly determines the impact of the artwork within the space. With the "Original Ratio: Center Artwork to Print Size (White Border / No Cropping)" option, the artwork is printed without cropping; if there are size differences, the unprinted areas create a matting effect with the natural white color of the paper. With the "Full Frame: Fit Artwork to Print Size (No White Border / Cropped)" option, the artwork completely fills the size and minimal cropping is applied to the edges. At Gige Gallery, both layouts are produced to museum quality; the choice depends entirely on aesthetic preference and intended use.
