I don't really know where to start with the info of A3?

To answer your question, the print is about

16.5 inches x 11.75 inches.

I ended up using a 18 inch x 12 inch frame and cut my mat board to fill in the rest.

You'll likely have to get a custom frame made (if you want the print to fit perfectly), or buy a larger frame and have it matted to fit the frame you bought.

That looks good. I'll probably have a mat cut to fit a frame. This helps, thank you.

I have been using frames from ikea that work pretty good!

Looks great, man. I think the extra black bars on the sides would drive me crazy.

I know what you mean about the black bars. I figure for $9.99 a frame I can live with it.
