Ordering a mount only is an option for those who already have a frame and want to change the mount or want to change the subject and mount without the additional cost of the frame. All the measurements you enter for the mount need to be in centimetres (cm).
Measuring your subject to fit directly into a mount is very simple. You will need:
- A measure
- A pen or pencil
- Paper to take notes
- Your subject, e.g. poster, degree, puzzle, etc.
1. Place and straighten your subject on a flat surface.
2. Take the measurements of the height and width of the area you want to see, in centimetres. If you plan to cut your subject, it must be done before taking the measurements. If your subject has white margins and you don't want them to show, you should remove those before taking measurements.
Fig. 1. Configure the mount for your whole subject by providing us with the height and width.
Fig. 2. Configure a section of your subject by cutting and then providing us with the height and width.
3. Check your measurements again and confirm the size.
4. Enter the measurements you have taken (do not make changes to the dimensions) in the mount studio.
5. You will be asked to enter the width you want for the mount, in centimetres.
For instance, to configure a subject that is 30 cm x 45 cm, enter 30 cm x 45 cm. Regarding the mount width, enter dimension 5 cm. Now your subject along with the mount will have dimensions of 40 cm x 55 cm. We will cut the mount opening 1 cm smaller in both height and width. This is to allow you to place your subject on the mount, preventing it from falling through the mount opening. According to the above example, the internal dimensions of the mount we will prepare for you will be 29 cm x 44 cm. If you do not want us to make any adjustments to the opening size of the mount, please contact us or let us know in the order comments box at the checkout.
6. Check your measurements again and confirm the size.
