Hi silly question due to me being a bit OCD and nothing being ever perfect.
I got a Canon G650 which I find is pretty great quality/colour wise (I'm not after pro result just printing holidays photo).

If I choose a margin of 0.3" all around when the picture come out it is clearly not 0.3" all around. On the right side I actually have no margin at all it is cropped. Pretty sure it is setup properly in Lightroom.

Question is: do I need to fiddle manually, i.e. for example enter 0.6" on the right margin and hoping that if I always had an extra 0.3" to the right it will look bad on screen but come ok out of the printer.
Or is there a clever way to get the printer setup true so that it print accurately same as what the screen shows.

I have tried bordeless too and it seem to munch so much of the picture away, I'n not super happy with that. Usually ok but if the picture is a bit tight already...

PS: I'm using proper 4x6 glossy canon branded paper so nothing weird going on here and printing from the print menu in Lightroom classic.

Out of interest.....

Can you say what the x by y pixel dimensions of the files are?
 
Try using the Canon print module.

The primary reason I asked was because you mentioned that the images were being cropped, which to me inferred that the ratio of the image being sent to print was a mismatch to the paper size and/or 'print size' you specified :thinking:

So, in regard to the image dimensions that should be easy to discern using Windows Explorer or indeed info visible in LR.

I see, I'll need to look. I thought using lighroom would be best option
