So if you go to the right lab or print your own, you don't have to crop? I thought cropping is inevitable. If you have a 3:4 or 3:2 aspect ratio, it's not going to fit an 8x10 or 11x14 without cropping. A 3:4 will fit a 4x6 and a 3:2 will fit a 20x30, but that's it. Anything else has to be cropped. No?
Not quite--you forgot, besides a little white space around the image, 19X13" paper which is designed for images sized to 18X12". I've been printing them since (I think) 2000, starting with an Epson 1270(?). I'm now using an inexpensive Epson 1400 (19X13") with which I'm VERY happy.
My annoyance to the point than I'm simply not buying one is Epson's unwillingness to sell cut-sheet paper in 25X17" (instead of 22X17") on which we could print uncropped 24X16" images. AFAIK, one has to buy a roll-fed printer, which requires significantly more depth to house it, to be able to print on 25X17" paper. Does anyone know anything different on this issue?
