Hello all,
I've got a friend with a table at a show coming up in a few weeks.
I recently got one of the Canon Pixma 100's and a free box of 13x9 paper for about $53.
I have a few prints I want to print off...matte and possibly frame and have NO idea where to start.
I have never printed off an image of mine before, much less tried to matt or frame anything in my life.
I've been watching some YouTube about this....seems there are pre-cut mattes which seems like that would be the way to go. I really don't know what size images are the popular ones that most folks sell at art shows. I'm guessing 12"-14" inches on the long side?
Does that sound close to a normal N x Y dimensions that are usually used?
Could someone give me advice, for something of an image in that size range....what would size of image be? How large a border to leave (i.e. image dimensions on what paper dimensions?_.....and what size matte would that fit into?
I got some paper along with the printer....the canon 13x19 semi gloss I think it was.....
But I think that may be a bit too large.
So, can someone give me maybe some suggestions of paper types/brands to try....and sizes....and how to print the image with dimensions that leave borders that would go along with some form of pre-cut mattes.
Like I said....COMPLETE noob, but any help, suggestions or links are greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Cayenne
