Answer» I have an epson R1900 printer but when I try to print 6"x4" (100x150) photos they are cropped. Can anyone tell me if there is a printer that does not crop. HP tell me none of their printers crop but my son's printer did. Epson tell me there are no printers that will print 6"x4" without cropping. Wht is the truth? Odd indeed!!
My approach for this size is to set up my image in my image app' (Micrografx Picture Publisher) and make sure my PPI suits the physical size I want to put on a sheet of paper. If the inches size of an image is set right then it will have to be smaller than the sheet size - either for portrait or landscape PRINTING .. and so take into account the default margin ALLOWANCE - but with portrait setting, the 6" should FIT fine with room to spare.
I don't think any printer should crop - if the ''physical'' size of an image is set up right relevant to its PPI. If pic is 72 PPI then 432 pixels in horizontal will be the limit ..... but of course if 300 PPI then 1800 pixels will be horizontal pixel size to print 6".
I used to use Epson for ages but now use Canon Pixma - main thing should be the deep dig into properties of printer and setting to suit image and/or, prep'ing image right INITIALLY. If despite this you get cropping then something sure ain't right!
Strikes me Epson is spouting BS if they say no printer will do 6x4 without cropping !! Sheesh.thankyou very much ChrisNot all printers will print to the very edge of the paper, if that is what hbrown is ASKING. Many printers will leave a white border around the edge of the image area. My Canon will do borderless printing, but only at certain paper sizes (6x4 is one) and you have to specially set it in the printer options when you go to print the picture.
