Artwork Requirements for Wooden framed paintings


What to send for wooden framed paintings, and what is different from other ranges.

Short answer: send the original file at the largest size you have, the final picture size in inches, and the canvas finish you want. The frame sits over the edge of the picture, so keep text, logos and key detail away from the outer edge and confirm how much the frame covers at sampling.
