can one print at actual pixels size?
Kibo informs me that nobody nowhere stated
that: Can one print at actual pixels size (100 %)? Of course, as long as you don't mind cropping your your image, or you have access to a big enough printer. You can go bigger too. I've printed a number of my 10D (6.3MP) photos at 10"x15" & 400DPI, which is roughly 400%. How is this done? Depends on the image, the software you have, & the printer. If you explain what you're trying to achieve, we can probably give you response that are much more useful than this one. -- W . | ,. w , "Some people are alive only because \|/ \|/ it is illegal to kill them."

can one print at actual pixels size?
hmm this is or appears to be an extension of what is a pixel?
A pixel is a picture element A printer pixel is not the same as a monitor pixel and both are not the same as a sensor pixel (sometimes called sensels) A monitor relies on physical attribute of light - usually called additive which combines 3 primary colors to obtain "white" A printer (usually) relies on subtractive properties of inks so comining a combination of all 3 inks produces something called "black" See the difficulties? What is intended is bto have 1 to 1 correspondence across the physical properties of each device in order to render an accurate image. The image will always be subject to the constraints of the physical limitations on the hardware, software & drivers in place. Plus - there is the aspect of human perception. While eyes allow light to excite receptors the brain interprets these signals into an image. Now the above is a gross over simplification. What was the question? Oh - yeh. It depends upon having the correctly configured hardware, software firmware. After that it's easy within the constraints listed above das B "nobody nowhere" wrote in message ...

can one print at actual pixels size?
ps - seel Gisle's link below for even deeper reading on the effect called
interpolation it's sorta important and for any budding mathematical genius out there - yeh, it really is all math das B "nobody nowhere" wrote in message ... Can one print at actual pixels size (100 %)? How is this done? -- nobody |

: Can one print at actual pixels size (100 %)? How is this done? A pixel has no size. So - no you cannot print at pixel size. nobody Hmmm .... methinks you are trolling? /Roland |

[] Hmmm .... methinks you are trolling? /Roland Most pixels have a finite and well-defined size - can you quote examples where the pixel has "no size"? Of course, printing at the original pixel size may not be quite what the OP wants! Cheers, David |

The way I do it is: Adjust the image so it looks the way I want it (Photo Shop or Elements) Save it in TIFF on the Desktop (on the machine connected to the printer) (Epson 750) Open it in PSP on the printer machine Tell PSP to print it Use PSP's screens to Choose paper and output mode Fit the image to the paper Push Print PSP chews on it for a while, sends it to the printer (Quite a bit later) It comes out looking just like it did on the monitor Lucky (simple) me.

The pixels in my graphic card has no size. A pixel can be matched to something that has a size, e.g. a sensor, a monitor or a print. You often also call this physical realisation a pixel, but this is misleading. Of course, printing at the original pixel size may not be quite what the OP wants! Yepp - and this (probable) mistake shows that you shall think of a pixel as having no size. /Roland |
