    Hi all, I was wondering if anybody has or knows of software that will allow me to print out prints in Passport size.

    My passport is due to expire and I though I would try and print my own instead of going to one of those machines.


    Regards

    Leonard

    I totally agree with you. When I saw the reply I thought this was a bit controversial, but said nothing as the poster is a moderator. I am glad you stepped in.

    Mods can be egits too just not in their own forums, unless its a community thing but the point is I do know a certain person who can do a certain thing for a certain price.

    AFAIK you can't just print your own, legally. (Materials & inks)

    U.S. passport photographs specifications

    - must be able to withstand a mounting temperature of 107 degrees Celsius;
    <snip>
    NOTE: Snapshots, most vending machine prints, magazine or full-length photographs are not acceptable. Photographs retouched so that the applicant's appearance is changed, or, printed by color photocopy machines are also not acceptable.

    DIGITIZED PHOTOGRAPHS

    If you chose to submit digitized photographs, they must be clear and provide proper contrast and white background. There are two major issues:

    Grainess: Digitized photographs are always produced on digital printers. Some printers will produce a photograph in which the dots are seen. Visible dots distort the image by making it look grainy. Acceptable photos have a continuous tone image that looks very photo-like.

    Dye Colors: Some digitized photos are not compatible with the adhesive that we use on our laminate. Testing has shown that these photographs deteriorate after a short time. The dyes bleed or run, and the photograph eventually disappears. Also, some digitized photographs may fade due to exposure to sunlight.
    Although I'm not sure how much of that would apply to Irish passports.

    It is what it's.
