Framed Prints &
Matted Prints
Many print labs provide the option to order a frame, mat, and print together for a fixed price. In ProSelect, you can set up Framed Prints, which include a print, mat, and frame all priced together. Similarly, you can also create Matted Prints that consist of just a print and a mat, also offered at a fixed price. It's important to verify how your supplier determines sizes. Suppliers may base their product dimensions on the frame or the print size. Always refer to your supplier's specifications on their website to ensure compatibility. For instance, if a supplier uses frame size to define dimensions, you might need to input non-standard paper sizes into ProSelect to accommodate these combinations properly.
- A product template is required. The template's Starting Size serves as the starting or minimum size for the product.
- The mat and/or frame applied to the template is not locked. The frame and mat may be swapped once the product is being used.
- Prices are fixed, and they include the frame and/or mat.
- Framed Print products do not have to include a mat, but they must have a frame.
- A frame can be added to a Matted Print product at an extra charge.
- These products are always dynamically sized based on the sizes you add in the Product & Pricing Manager.

- Choose a Supplier from the drop-down list on the Bottom Bar to exclusively display products associated with a particular supplier.

When setting up frame, mat, and print combinations in ProSelect, it's important to verify how your supplier determines sizes. Suppliers may base their product dimensions on the frame or the print size. Always refer to your supplier's specifications on their website to ensure compatibility. For instance, if a supplier uses frame size to define dimensions, you might need to input non-standard paper sizes into ProSelect to accommodate these combinations properly. This step ensures that the products you create in ProSelect align with what your supplier offers.
