What 5 x 7 inch photos are used for

What to watch out for

The usual American enlargement size, close to but not the same as the European 13 x 18 cm.

How many fit on each sheet

The first number assumes safe margins and a cutting gap, which is what a normal home printer can manage. A bracketed number is what fits borderless, with no margin at all — untick Safe margins in the tool to use it.

Printing it so the size is actually right

1. Print at 100%, not "fit to page"

This is the step that undoes all the others. In Adobe Reader the setting is Page Sizing, and you want Actual size — not Fit, not Shrink oversized pages. In Chrome's print dialog, open More settings and set Scale to 100; the Default option often means 94% or 97%. If your PDF viewer offers no scale control at all, open the file in a different viewer rather than accepting whatever it decides.

2. Tell the printer the real paper size

If you are printing on 4 x 6 photo paper, the printer must be set to 4 x 6 — not Letter, not A4. A printer configured for Letter and fed a small sheet will scale, rotate or misfeed it.

3. Check with a ruler before you cut

Print one sheet on plain paper first and measure a photo. If it measures 2.4 inches where it should be 2.5, the scale setting is still not at 100%. Photo paper is expensive; plain paper is not.

4. Cut along the guides

The thin corner marks sit just outside each photo, so a straight cut along them leaves no visible line on the finished print. A craft knife against a metal ruler gives a far cleaner edge than scissors.
