Question about mounting

My prints all have borders, where you are able to see the sprockets.

When we mount our photos, I was curious if I was supposed to trim off the white border of the photo print itself, or just leave it on when I mount it on the board.

Some have told me yes, and some no. I'm too scared too mount any photos until I know for sure. Hahha.

Thanks.

According to my knowledge, If you want to keep the border, then go for 1" one. If you want to go for window matting, then, you are allowed to crop that, otherwise, no. Best wishes.

If you are just mounting and not matting you need to trim the borders off of the print. If you are going to add the matting, you can leave the border.

Great answer, Wendy! Michelle, if you would like to leave some of the sprockets around the print that is fine - just be sure to make the sprocket the same size (1/8" for example) all the way around.
