the shop i was referring to is snappy snaps - but now that i read my post again it doesnt make sense, might be 12x16 frames and not 12x18.

anyway i'm glad to see that i'm not the only one having troubles. Might not have to "center" the picture in the frame, but what would be a general guideline then? and it still means you need to get the mount custom made.

But 16x20 frame means my mount won't be even as 2'' spare on width and 4'' on height?

Hello,

Just getting some prints framed - going for 12x18'' print size as I like the 2:3 ratio. (have to point out that the prints were actually 30x45cm which is a tiny bit smaller than 12x18'').

Went to a few shops and clearly there's no frame to fit this size (unless there is no mount, which is not ideal.)

I ended up buying a A2 frame and having the mount cut to fit the A2 frame with 12x18'' window (£50 for a simple frame, not cheap!)

It looks fine but not amazing, I wonder if it's better to have the same space between the picture and the frame or if the width should be wider than the height (not sure my sentence makes any sense!?).

Seems a 8x12'' print fits well in a 12x18'' frame with 2'' mount border on each side (width and height), but not too sure about a 12x18'' or a panoramic picture...

What do you think? couldnt find any answer on google although pretty sure people must have discussed this before!!

Thanks!
