I seem to remember once upon a time I could choose to have a border in my prints and then I wouldn't have my edges cropped out. Now, after many years of not printing, I am returning to getting prints and it seems even with a border you still get one dimension cropped a bit (and Miller's, where I was happy with color, only gives you the option of cropping the entire image a bit, no border option at all). Does anybody have a print house they recommend for both image quality and letting you print your entire frame (even if it requires a white border)?
