Question

Prints from Lightroom Classic are printing too small

I am trying to make a print to fit the dimensions of a mat I have already cut. In Page Setup I set the paper for 13 x 19 Landscape, and set the Cell Size in Print module at 9.3 x 13.32, which is slightly larger than the mat opening. However the finished print measures slightly under 9 x 13. 

I am printing to an Epson ET-8550 printer. I have been printing lots of 7.5” x 10” prints on 8.5 x 11 paper and they come out the exact dimension as expected.

    Hi ​@rbatey,

    Thanks for reaching out. A few questions that will help narrow this down:

    • In the Print Job panel, are you printing at 100% scale, or is Scale to Fit (or any other scaling option) enabled?
    • In the Epson printer driver, is Borderless enabled, or are you printing with standard margins? Also, are any options such as Fit to Page, Reduce/Enlarge, or other scaling settings enabled in the printer driver?
    • Does this only happen when printing on 13 × 19 paper, or do you see the same behavior with other paper sizes?

    Could you also share a screenshot of:

    • The Lightroom Print module (Layout panel and Print Job panel).
    • The Epson print driver settings before you print.

    That will help determine whether the scaling is occurring in Lightroom or in the printer driver.


    Best,
