Printing photos in Win 7?

[johbot]

I want to print photos and / or .jpg images that I have created in postcard size. I want to print 4 on an A4 sheet. But I don't want white borders around my images. I want to make the maximun use of the paper so that when I cut them up into individual images they are the biggest they can be.

So how do I do that? If I want to print one on an A4 page, there is little white space in the print preview. But as soon as I select that I want the same image 4 times on the page, there is a lot of white space.

Can you help?

I assume you are referring to the 'native' W7 print? Note that selecting "Fit picture to frame" reduces the white margins slightly:

The only solution I can think of is to load them into Word and size and scale to suit:

Thank Leif,

I guess, using your method, that you will still have some page margins?

I suspect that this is entirely down to your printer and whether or not it allows borderless printing.

If you do have one, make sure it and the 'borderless print' option are selected when using Word, otherwise Word may object to your margin settings!

Most printers have non-printable borders around the paper. For example, if I set the margins to 0 cm in Word, it corrects them to a little over 0.4 cm:

As Leif mentions, some printers have a setting for borderless printing - check your printer settings.

Thank you Leif and Hans,

While I was waiting for a response, I played with Pagemaker and was able to do what I wanted in that. Not quite borderless, but close. So a very similar outcome to your Word suggestions.

Thank you,
