Printer Cut Offs

Have you ever printed a picture thinking it was perfect, yet when you got the printed output the printer cuts off his head or drops important background details?



You can make your important photo materialize completely.

If the printer is chopping off the heads or feet of folks in your photos, you may have selected the wrong size photo paper. Check by launching Print Preview before you print, then try a bigger sheet of photo paper if necessary. If you’re trying to squeeze a 5×7 image onto a 4×6 piece of snapshot paper, use photo-editing software to crop the photo or reduce its size. Then print a test photo on a regular piece of paper to avoid wasting expensive glossy photo paper.


If you’re making borderless prints, be sure to insert the paper properly. Many borderless photo papers have a perforated tab at one end or along the sides, and if you put the sheet in backwards, the important parts of the photo wind up on the tear-off portion. The proper direction is usually indicated on the wrong side of the paper or on the box the paper came in.

Worst-case scenario: If your photo printer is several years old, go to the manufacturer’s Web site and search for updated drivers, which can put more control over page alignment and size into your hands. If that fails, consider buying a new printer. Today’s photo printers have smarts that can better detect the size of photos and fit them onto a page for you before you waste paper.
