Custom Print Sizes

If you want to print custom print sizes. Please follow these instructions.

For this example, we want to print an image that is 11inches wide and 3inches high.

First, you must crop or resize your image as per the instructions, noting most importantly that the image must be saved at 300ppi.

As we do not print any size paper that is 11×3, the image will be printed onto the next available size.

To see a full list of available print sizes, click here.

The next available size to print this image on would be a 12×8 sheet.

Make on folder on your USB key (burn folder; flash card; etc.) called ‘Printing’ and in this folder, make a new folder called ’12×8 NO RESIZE’.

What this means is that in the printing process, your 11×3 image is put on a 12×8 sheet without resizing the image at all. NOTE: if the image was not saved at 300ppi, the image would not come out the correct size on the sheet


If you have other images and sizes that you want printed, make a folder for all of them and bring them all in for printing.

If it is all laid out this clearly, and the images are prepared, there will be no chance of error in size or quantities.

Fill-in and Fit-In Explained

Fill-in and Fit-in

When you are leaving your photos in to be printed, you may choose the option Fill-in or Fit-in. Fill-In is the standard, default setting.

Fill-In Explained

Most compact cameras take photos in a 4:3 ratio. What this means is that if you select a 6×4 size print (a 3:2 ratio), the whole sheet will be filled, but this will result in parts of your image being cropped.

Example:

(The darker area is not printed)

Fit-In Explained

If cropping the image does not suit you, as you need the whole image printed, you may choose to print as Fit-In.

If we take the same photo, and choose to print it as a 6×4  Fit-In, it will put the whole image on the sheet without cropping any of the image.
Example:

Alternatively, if neither of these options suits you, you will need to crop your image to be a 6×4.
