I've asked this questions a couple of times and a lot of other people ask this question, which requires them to go figure out possible print sizes based on ratios (3:2, 4:3, 16:9) - so after digesting some calculations that another user gave to me on here a few months ago and getting a spare 30 minutes, I thought I would write a small application in windows to do all the calculating for me. I wanted to share this with the TP community - I think it should be made a sticky - to save the same question getting asked
The application I have wrote will take into account <<any>> print size, up to several miles (imagine a print that big , yikes!) so I've limited it to 40 inches on the short side (if people do want a larger print, let me know, I can extend it to whatever length, under any ratio.
