Photo Print Size

Hi,
My 02 x 152 mm (4 x 6 inches) and 127 x 178 mm (5 x 7 inches) images are not ouputing correctly? Images are often smaller only at times covering 25% of photo area? What are the settings I need to pay special attention to?
Is it true that I can only get glossy photo prints from the upper tray, in other words if I wanted to print say four 6x4 inch images or similar on an A4 glossy sheet it cannot be done on this model?
Is it possible to have two images on a 6x4 inch photo sheet, if so, please state exact steps if time permits?

Hi Bob,
Sorry my error. the printer is an All in One C5280, generally I want to print photos from images on my hard drive? I generally scan the images to disk and order from right click functions.
Im glad of your advice, please advise on required reading to get best results from this printer...I dont as a rule use the front slots, should I? Yes multiple small 6x4inch images are required on A4 glossy form main tray if possible....please advise best software ( free ) if possible...also paid software advice might be a good thing. A user friendly software package I suspect might be well worth the investment...Im not often printing images but when I do , an easy to use application would save much printer troubleshooting. The printer got good reviews ect so I guessing its quite capable of good output?
Lastly ...tech support tries to assist but very slow and not quite clear is my experience. Yesterday I was trying to print 4 small images onto glossy A4 from the main tray but each time I got a paper jam, same result after clearing the jam? I changed the preferences in printer control panel but still the jam occurs, I cleaned rollers and other tipsgiven in HP help videos...I suspect the machine does not accept A4 glosssy....according to the manual spec anyhow...your thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Reply when time permits,

IPhoto Photo Print Size

Hello Everyone,
I am getting VERY annoyed with iPhoto but it is probably simple and my issue.
I am trying to print photos which are 4x6". When I print, change the paper size to 4x6 it cuts part of the photo off every time. Its not much, and often does not matter but often it does. I cannot see how to scale the entire image to fit, and it should fit without affecting the propotions.
The number of times I have looked, and then get double annoyed as if I hit 'cancel' from within the Print Settings, it does not return to the photo I was working on... it goes back to the full EVENTS page. That is a second issue.
Can anyone help with the first one?
Thanks very much in advance
Al

What is the aspect ratio of the photos? If it is not 4x6 they something has to be cut off - crop to 4x6 before printing so you control what is cut off or on the first print window click customize and right click on the pri=eview and select fit to frame

Crop photo for standard print sizes?

I'm looking for an easy to use App for my folks to use for cropping images ready for standard photo printing sizes (6x4", A4, 5x7" etc). Most image editing Apps offer the ability to crop. But so far I've only found 'fit for free' that actually crops to standard photo sizes. Does anyone know of any more? Many thanks ;-)

Actually I found a Canon App that looks good and apparently works for printing to certain models of Canon wireless printers as well. Might be just the ticket ;-)

Getting the print sizes i want

I am having an issue with photos that I want to size print. If i have a photo all ready to be printed and want to print it as an 8X10, when i put up the crop marks for 8X10, the aera that i want in the photo gets cut off. It is like putting an 8X10 box on the photo versus putting the photo in an 8X10 box. Is there a way to set the file up to print that photo to any size and get that photo to fit the crop size (4X6, 8X10, etc)?
Thanks, Brian

I am sending them out to Mpix. When I upload the file and then go select a photo print size, i am not getting what i want. I just don't want to have photos up there and people would not be able to select the size that want and get the print to be the way it should. I know that sending the files to Mpix and how they print there is probably not a Lightroom issue, but i just want to make sure what i export from LR is going to work.
Thanks

HP Photo Printing Software - How to change predefined sizes in "Design To Page size:" window?

I have a HP Photosmart printer, which came with a photo print application, "HP Photo Printing Software", Version 3.9.0.0. When I try to change the page size of the photo output using the "Design to Page Size:" screen, I see a list of predefined page sizes (e.g., "4x6 w/tab"). However, these predefined sizes (there are 11) can't be changed from within the program. For example, if I want to print a 4x6 photo with no border, which is a frequent requirement, there seems to be no way to do it.
How do I change or override these predefined print sizes in this program? BTW - I have Windows XP on my PC.

Hi Alex.
You may want to try HP's new photo-printing program, HP Photo Creations. It's a free download at www.hp.com/go/hppc.
To print photos at a predefined size, select the Print-at-Home tab (2), then Prints & Posters (3), then the Prints project (4). Then design your print and select your desired size on the printing screen (7).
Hope this helps,

I customize my paper size and print size and am then viewing a photo on my screen. I print it out and it chops off about 5% of all edges of my original photo on the screen. Why does it do that? It is driving me crazy. I use an Epson Photo 2200 printer.

What print and paper sizes are you using? Are you trying to print a borderless print? Does your printer support borderless for that particular size? Are you printing to the custom stock size or to a larger stock size?

Print 2 Photos (A4 size) on one

Hi
I have 2 photos in iphoto, both A4 proportions
I want to print them side by side (like 2 x A5's) on a piece of A4 paper so i get the pair next to each other on A4
Is this possible ?

Yes. Select the two photo and click on print. Select A4 for the paper size and a print size that will allow two photos per page. You can use a Custom size to maximize the size of the two photos on the one page. Something like this:

Photosmart C4750 printer chops off photo prints on leading edge no matter what size, paper setting,

My Photosmart C4750 printer chops off the photo prints when using photo paper no matter what settings I use. I don't have any trouble when using regular paper. I have a Touchsmart 300 PC using windows 7 and I use either PMB from Sony for my photo editing or Corel Paint Shop. The problem seems to be in the printer. It starts printing the picture off the paper. Can you help me?

I called their tech support and they informed me that the printer was out of warranty so they could not give advice unless I payed the one time fee or bought a 1 year plan. First, the guy's India accent was so strong that I couldn't understand him. Next, the prices they wanted were almost the price of a new printer. So, I declined and wrote my post on the forum, but got no responses. Yours is the first. Then HP sent a survey. I gave all bad scores.
In March I got an e-mail saying I had a one year warranty and would I like to extend it. I called the number and got another India accented lady this time. In the background a little kid's voice was saying "Mom, Mom". This was not going to go well, I knew from the start. So I explained my problem over again. She told me to hold a minute then came back and said my printer was out of warranty. I read off the e-mail and she said that meant my printer had been out of warranty a year and was asking if I wanted to extend. I asked the cost and again it was the price of the printer so I said NO. She asked if I wanted help to solve my problem. I asked if she was going to charge for it and she said Yes. I told her I would just buy a different printer and hung up. HP sent another survey and I gave all bad scores again and wrote the comment that I will never buy another HP printer. I heard Epson Printers are very good for photo work. I will give them a try.

Scanning photos to size

After scanning a 5x7 photo to my mac, the image comes in on page size. After i edit the photo and go to order prints I keep getting low res issues. Any suggestions?

What image resolution are you scanning the photos at? What are the pixel dimensions of the scanned images. If you don't specify a resolution you may be getting just the 140 dpi Apple has set as the minimum for prints before the warning is shown (PrintWarningImageDPI). Apple does print at 300 dpi for most items.
For a 5 x 7 that would require an image of larger than 700 x 980 pixels.
However, or printing more is better and I'll scan at a minimum resolution of 300 dpi to take advantage of what Apple will print at. If you might bring the image at a size larger than then scanned side scan at a higher resoluition, up to 600 dpi
This screenshot shows the image sizes in pixels that give the low resolution warning for different print sizes.

Photo Printing from Networked Windows 7

My HP Photosmart Printer is USB connected to a Windows XP machine which is directly attached to the home network. Also have a Windows 7 64 machine wirelessly connected to the home network. The Photosmart printer was added to the windows 7 machine and selected as the default printer and I have no problems printing to it from the Windows 7 machine except that I only recently found out that I cannot select from various photo paper sizes to print photos from the Windows 7 computer. All various printing programes only give me a limited selection of paper sizes to choose from when configuing the printing - Letter, A4, A5 Envelope, Legal, etc. The same programs on the XP machine offer the choice of various photo paper sizes to print to. It seems as though all of the Photosmart configuration options are not available via the Windows 7 computer. Should I try to install the printer on the Windows 7 machine again, directly from a downloaded HP installation file?

Hi,
Well, looks like you have to install drivers on the Windows 7 machine (if supported) but I how do we know your printer to find out ?.
Regards.

When I print a photo to my epson printer, it comes out larger than the original photo - so the photo prints beyond the borders. Tried readjusting all sorts of things but nothing helps. I had this same problem with my Canon. any ideas?

Photo printing slow one line at a time

My first time printing phots on my Officejet 4620 and it is taking 20 minutes per picture one line at a time. Very frustrated. Call the help line and was told tht how this printer works.....

Many things can affect printing photos. Wireless connectivity (if applicable), paper size, print quality, software used to print the photo, printer design optimization (photo printer vs. office printer), security software used on your computer, etc.....
That being said, this photo printing document may offer some information of benefit:

I can't change print sizes in certain folders!

This is a maddening problem!
I have an HP 8750, which I have no problems with.
I just got a Kodak 5100 printer. The problem is that in certain folders, if I try to change the print size of an image, say Letter to Borderless 4x6, it doesn't stick! In the upper left region, it'll show the new size I selected, but the margins, cell size, image size, etc., don't change.
This only happens in certain folders within the Library! If I move an image from a folder that has the problem into another folder that's working properly, I can resize the images in that folder. If I move it back to the "bad" folder, it won't work again. Likewise, taking an image from a good folder to a bad one makes it so I can't change the size.
This only happens with the 5100 printer. If I switch to the HP, I can set the paper size just fine, even in a "bad" folder. If I switch back to the 5100, it goes back to the size I set before.
It also only happens in Lightroom. If I export the image into Photoshop, it works fine.
I'm thinking this is a bug.

Here's a random sampling of folder names that work and don't work:
works:
E:\Digital Photos\Maria2
E:\Digital Photos\Maria and Lei\Lollipop
doesn't work:
E:\Digital Photos\Maria and Lei\Yellow
E:\Digital Photos\Maria
E:\Digital Photos\London\fig
E:\Digital Photos\London\rejects
Notice there are 2 subfolders of E:\Digital Photos\Maria and Lei\, and one works, one doesn't.
Now I haven't systematically checked every file in any particular folder, but if I find that one file in a folder works or doesn't work, every other file I randomly pick so far has also worked or not worked just like the first one.

Question about "Print Size"

I am confused and puzzled about "Print Size." First I select the Zoom Tool, then I click "Print Size" in the upper bar. I also have chosen View > Rulers.
What I don't understand is that one inch in the horizontal ruler actually is considerably longer than one inch on the vertical ruler. I think this is distorting the appearance on my photos in the monitor as compared with the actual prints. The monitor version of my portrait, for example, looks fatter than the printed version. Why is this and why isn't a horizontal inch equal to a verical inch for viewing purposes.
Thank you very much for any help on this.
Bob

Thank you very much. I changed my monitor to its native resolution and I think this solved the problem. Bob
