Hand-deckled (torn) edges on a fine art paper giclee add a touch of uniqueness to the work. It also allows for the final piece to be "floated" in a frame rather than secured under the straight edges of a cut mat. Each fine art paper stock deckles differently, producing a variety of smooth/rough edges. If you intend to have the edges deckled, please consult with a customer service representative about your choice of paper.
