Black Borders
What are Black Borders
Black Borders are black margins that are automatically added around an image when print files are generated.
In the final print file, the uploaded image is centered, and any missing area is filled with a black background.

How Black Borders work
- The customer uploads an image
- NINEMAGS generates a print file for the required size
- Instead of white margins, black borders are added around the image
Important:
Black Borders affect print files only. They do not affect the customer preview.

Shopify Admin → Apps → NINEMAGS

☑ Use white text on black background
