Prints not cut to 18x24
Prints not cut to 18x24
I wanted to start a new thread about this as IMO this is really an issue that needs to be addressed by OG. Yes there are other threads where this is discussed, but none are dedicated to this topic. Over the years of buying prints I've built up a decent amount of prints. It's really, really frustrating to try and frame a print only to find out that it's actually 18 1/4" x 24 1/4 when you want to put it on the wall. I now have six prints that I want to frame, but I cannot.
They are Neil Young

Anyone have any other problems with not properly cut prints?

My jaws wave print isn't 18x24 either.

Jaws is irritating because of the size. Giant Star 96 is also a little bit long.

Re: Prints not cut to 18x24
Ah! Yes, was thinking about bringing this to the table the other day...I have so many I can't frame:
Power, Endless Power, Sedation pill, Shoplifters welcome, Rise Above rebel...
And 24x36 - Green Power Red & Gold doesn't fit, but the Blue does.
So yeah, any suggestions? Bring them to a professional to cut to exact size?

A larger frame and some acid free matting. It's a bummer and can get expensive, but it would be better than cutting the print in my opinion.

My suggestions is to sell them to me at cost.schmidt wrote:Ah! Yes, was thinking about bringing this to the table the other day...I have so many I can't frame:

All my Endless Power prints from the Halsey are in the bags they were shipped with because they are too big for the already tight picturesque portfolio. I spent 20 minutes at the Halsey trying to get them into the portfolio.
Re: Prints not cut to 18x24
I agree. Only thought to have them lined up and cut as I think the paper is off, not the image. The right person *might* be able to line it up right.Willie wrote:A larger frame and some acid free matting.

I spent 30 mins on the Red and Gold...But my Blue is exactly 36x24 and fit in a standard frame.jjttdw wrote: All my Endless Power prints from the Halsey are in the bags they were shipped with because they are too big for the already tight picturesque portfolio.

I wrote to obey this morning about it and I already heard back!

Re: Prints not cut to 18x24
I thought the slightly bigger paper size was by design. As far as the printers go, how hard is it to use correctly sized paper? Jaws fit into the itoya but the end hung out a touch which was just begging to be dinged. It now lives in a foam core sammich.

Re: Prints not cut to 18x24
Not by design and has nothing to do with using correctly sized paper. They don't order 18x24" paper and then print on it. Most paper comes at weird sizes and either before or after the printing is done, usually after, the paper is cut down using a very large paper cutter. Some times the crop marks or measurements are slightly off. It happens.jjttdw wrote:I thought the slightly bigger paper size was by design.

Re: Prints not cut to 18x24
Exact same with me. I've noticed slight variations but jaws wave was the first that didn't even come close to fitting in an 18x24" portfolio. Mine was store flat in a flat file and now it's in a 24x36" portfolioslidingaround wrote:Me too, its the 1st time i couldnt put an obey print in to my Itoya portfolio.whyhoo wrote:i think jaws was the first print i started noticing this on

Ya know, you can order custom sized frames via a few online framing sites. American Frame being one of them!

Re: Prints not cut to 18x24
ah yes, our cm frames. I can practically only find 50x70 frames in the most stores. A few times I've found 18x24in ones, but in fancy shops that charge many rubles.EFE wrote:I use 50x65 frames. Works perfect!
So go big, don't trim. Self-mat it out.
