Popular pairings
- Matte + Borderless — clean, low glare, works for text and photos.
- Luster + Borderless — balanced color for photos with a pro look.
- Glossy + Borderless — bold color for graphics and high-contrast images.
- Smart Borders (any paper) — keeps text and edges safe if your design is a different shape.
Cropping & borders tip
8.5x11 is letter-size, and most cameras don't shoot in this exact ratio. If your photo is wider or taller, borderless printing may crop the edges. For designs with text near the edges, or if you want the full image visible, choose Smart Borders or add a white border.
