This is driving me crazy - Image size printing question
#2
(11-01-2024, 09:26 AM)Clueless Wrote: I need to print a 110mm square image centered on a A5 sized canvas (the image consists of 3 elements - the image itself and 2 borders) I have set the canvas size to A5 centered the image correctly but i cannot get it to print the correct size. I have tried both the resize options on the template canvas resize dialogue screen but I can only get a image 70mm square to print - help !

Depends on the printer.... You printer probably has an unprintable margin somewhere (usually, around 1cm at bottom for consumer inkjets) and so scales the whole image to find the printable area.

Also, see this: Image size in Gimp

Last, if all else fails, you can always insert the image in a word document, set the print size precisely there, and print the document. These are usually very size-accurate.
