    Hi
    Could anybody help me to get my digital prints 10 X12ins + 10 X 8ins printed without having them croped or with white borders I have been sending all my pic's to (http://www.digi-prints.co.uk/index.php) the quality is excellent but they seem to crop a lot from certain size pics

    Thank you

    I send my shots to www.photobox.co.uk for printing. Excellent consistent results
    and you can also see the crop factor - and alter it accordingly - if the photo doesn't fit in to one of their default sizes. Super fast service also. Highly recommended.

    You're never going to get prints of those sizes from any source, digital or analogue, without some cropping. It's all to do with aspect ratios ...

    12 / 10 = 1.2
    10 / 8 = 1.25

    4 / 3 = 1.33333 (most digital cameras)
    36 / 24 = 1.5 (35mm and most digital SLR's)

    it's easy, you add your own small white border but keep the proportions right

    then when you get your prints back, you cut the white borders off with a paper guillotine

    if you don't have your own white borders, all printers will have to slightly overprint and leave a few mm at least off in order to print right to the edge of the paper

    although saying that, if you ask a photolab to print your 12x8 on 15x10 paper whilst them telling the machine that it is using 12x8 paper you'll get every pixel printed. many places won't do this because they don't know how to but it's posible to do on most fuji frontier printers. again, you;ll still have to guillotine off the edges
