Tips &
Tricks

What I would tell someone framing the same way tomorrow. Small margins and the right clamp make the difference.

  1. 01

    Print a small border for a safe full bleed

    For a clean full bleed inside the frame, print the image with a border slightly smaller than the frame's lip. It gives you a margin for error without ever showing white at the edge.

  2. 02

    Get a 4-way corner clamp if you work alone

    A 4-way corner clamp isn't strictly necessary, but it makes gluing up a frame far easier. If you're working alone, it's close to a must have.
