Matted vs. Unmatted Prints: What's the Difference?
Matted Prints
A matted print includes an additional border around the photo, known as the mat, which not only enhances the presentation but also protects the image. The mat creates a visual space between the image and the frame, adding depth and a polished look. Matted prints are ready to be framed and can give your photos a more formal and elegant feel, perfect for displaying in your home or office.
Unmatted (Loose) Prints
An unmatted, or loose print, is simply the photo printed without any additional border or mat. These prints are versatile and can be framed directly or kept as they are. They offer a clean, minimalist look and are ideal for those who want the flexibility of choosing their own framing style or keeping the print unframed.
What is a Framed Print?
A framed print is the perfect way to showcase your images while offering both protection and style.
Our frames feature high-end Italian hardwood moulding and UV-resistant acrylic to keep your artwork vibrant and safe from fading.
You can choose between a matted print, where a border surrounds your image, or an edge-to-edge print for a modern, seamless look.
We offer three distinct frame profiles: a slim and minimal 20mm Classic, the bold 40mm Classic, or the ornate, decorative option for a vintage feel.
When you come to the studio for your gallery reveal, you’ll be able to select your preferred frame border from our collection to perfectly match your space.
Each framed print comes printed, mounted, framed, and ready to hang, making it a beautiful and effortless addition to your home or office.
