Indtast den bredde og højde, du har brug for, så det passer til din ramme eller din væg. Et print kan kun beskæres, aldrig gøres større end selve billedet, så en størrelse med et andet format vil medføre, at dele af motivet går tabt. Vi sender dig en digital mockup til godkendelse, før vi printer noget. Billedet vist på denne side viser ikke den faktiske beskæring — det er kun mockuppen, der gør.
