How big each size is
The measurements
Three sizes. The largest covers about six times the wall of the smallest, which is not obvious from the names.
| Size | Millimetres | Inches | Proportion | Wall covered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 70×100 cm | 700 × 1000 mm | 27.6 × 39.4 in | 1:1.429 | 0.70 m² |
| 50×70 cm | 500 × 700 mm | 19.7 × 27.6 in | 1:1.400 | 0.35 m² |
| 30×40 cm | 300 × 400 mm | 11.8 × 15.7 in | 1:1.333 | 0.12 m² |
Where the sheet lands on the wall
Hung to a centre line 145 cm from the floor, the edges fall here. That centre line is the one every product page draws against.
| Size | Bottom edge | Top edge |
|---|---|---|
| 70×100 cm | 95 cm | 195 cm |
| 50×70 cm | 110 cm | 180 cm |
| 30×40 cm | 125 cm | 165 cm |
Measure the wall before the print rather than after it. A shelf, a picture rail or a sloping ceiling decides the size more often than taste does.
The sheet itself
Uncoated stock, 200 gsm, printed with pigment inks. A 5 mm unprinted border runs round all four edges, so the printed area of the largest sheet is 690 × 990 mm.
Colour on uncoated paper sits softer than the same file on a lit screen. That is the paper behaving normally.
The test worth doing
Cut a sheet of newspaper to the size and tape it to the wall at the height in the second table. Leave it there for a day. Nothing else answers the question, and it costs nothing.
Frames are not included. The frame in the product photographs is there to show scale.
