    Well you have 2 options - the diy job at the self service machine or get someone to do it for you.

    For DIY at the Fuji machine - you basically have to need to ensure that you have enough print space so that you are printing on something larger than what you need i.e. in the above case 50cm X 50cm would work but 40cm X 40cm wouldn't for a 50cm X 15cm desired print.

    Then you need to make sure the machine that is printing (if self service) doesn't try to stretch your image to 'fill the canvas' which they try to do helpfully but if they do then it makes a muck of your images perspective.

    In the above example of printing 50X15 onto a 50X50 what you actually are hoping for is to cut off with a straight rule and blade some 35cm of resulting white space.

    The other option is to get someone to do it. PM boards user stcstc if you are looking for a personal level of service - I haven't used him myself but if willing to pay the extra for a personal service then he comes recommended around these parts from many users.

    Steve (stcstc) helped me out with some prints, for my LIPF Panel, recently.

    Send him a PM. The prices are on his website which are very good considering the personal service you get.

    I use Repro 35 in Merrion square for all my prints. They are more expensive than your regular boots or Fuji store, however the quality is second to none.
