Photo prints 8 x 10 with 7.8 x 10?

[jaymack]

I have Canon iP7220 printer, new. I printed an 8x10 but there's a thin white rim about 1/8th so it's not true 8. I don't like those odd square prints as they're not real, try to find a frame for one of them. Anyways, Someone suggested that b5 size was good. How can I get a real 8x10.

Thanks John, I appreciate the time you're taking. My comment on Canon is that the paper size the last 4 printers I had gave me the 8x10 slot. Canon printer slots has A4, LTR, B5 and A5. I used B5 just to see what it does.

Re: cropping, I don't want to crop, I want to print a photograph from the full image of my camera. I tried the Easy Image Garden etc. software and used the 8x10 just like the image you did. On three prints, I got a white trim on the bottom of the prints 3 different times. One was about 1/8th, another was 1/4 and the other vaguely between, almost impossible to make clean cuts on my cutter.

This is for a job, so I'm going to have to find another way to make an 8x10 with good paper.

thanks anyways

My printer has adjustable guides; that's why I didn't understand.

Unless your camera has a 4x5 aspect ratio cropping will occur. The printer does it indirectly by overprinting. You could try maximizing the print extension in the driver and see what that does; maybe it can cover the full 8 inch width.

I really suggest you do the cropping. Then the printer driver can do the pixel work in the driver and you will get full borderless.
