Picture Frames for 8.5 in. x 11 in. Digital Prints


Hi, I am printing some nice 8.5" x 11" shots on my Epson Photo 780 printer. I cannot find inexpensive frames or frames at all for that matter at local shops (Long Island, NY). I only find 8x10 which are too small and I do not have a good method to cut these photos without risk to the image. Any suggestions for brick and mortar or online stores? Your assistance is appreciated.

  If you do a lot of this, you might think about buying a mat (matte?) cutter. If this is a one shot deal, you can tell the people at a framing shop exactly what dimensions to cut the mat and what color you want. These could look great in an 11" x 14" frame.

  In Oklahoma City I go to my local Wal-mart (no endorsement intended) and get really nice "Document Frames." There is not much of a selection-two or three styles but they are very nice frames. If not the correct color they could be sprayed, antiqued, etc. These are not the thin metal cheapies that stores sometimes have. In Oklahoma City, they run between 6 and 10 dollars. I hope that helps. Sincerely,

  Hi Lee,

I order all my frames through Graphik Dimensions Ltd. They have all styles from simple to fancy in all price ranges. They will cut to any size you need.

  I buy 11 x 14 frames and cut my matte out at 8 x 10.

  I think you can get 8.5 X 11 certificate frames at Staples...
