Printing A Photo In It's Original Size.

[anotheoldgit]

I wish to print a photo that is saved on my computer, but I wish to print it in it's original size.

I am using a HP Photosmart C4600 printer, but when I select the file photo that I wish to print, a photo printing wizard kicks in, and this only gives a number of set sizes to select from, non of which are the original size of my photograph.

Can anyone please help?

There will be a custom option in there somewhere - if you cant find it just google custom size printing then HP C4600

Does the file data hold information on the original size ? I'm no expert but I suspect not. You'd need to know what size the original was and then use a picture viewer or printer interface/driver that allows you to set it. If you go into print settings can you set this already ?

There's not really any such thing as "original size". Pictures formatted fro the screen are usually specified at either 72 or 96 DPI (and this is purely nominal). For commercial printing the usual setting is 300 DPI, and your home printer may well default to a much higher resolution.
So, a picture of 1920x1280 pixels may well fill your 21" screen, but on a 600 DPI printer it would have a "natural" size of 3.2 x 2.13 inches
