QTR-Quadtone RIP

I'm trying to print an approximately 4x6 print on a 5x7 sheet of paper but the print ends up like what looks like a cropped portion of maybe an 8x10. The print is at 100% because I sized the original to be just the right size.

I'm using an Epson R1800...  I ended up using the original print, which was larger, then scaling it to about 66% - and this fit the 5x7 frame with some border.

Why wouldn't my first method scale properly at 100%? (hope this all makes sense!)

Thanks all,

Paul

If you are using JPGs on a PC I've found some programs don't put
some of the sizing info into the file.  TIFF files always work just fine.

Thank you, Roy,

Well now, that is interesting... I never would have guessed that! 

I had reduced the original JPG using a handy little piece of freeware called FastStone. Based on your comments, I used PhotoShop to reduce the original and it printed just fine.

Easy solution!

I appreciate your program, by the way. And I am a registered user!

Best,

Paul
