printing non standard size images
Discussion
hi all, another question about online printing services...
What happens if I want photobox (or whoever) to print an image that is a non standard size - i.e. something I've cropped.
Will they simply print the longest side of the image to the edge of the paper, and then leave white bands above and below?

Use pixaco.co.uk!
You can then print exactly any shape image, and you don't loose anything at all, and all without faffing around selecting "fit to this or that"
See
www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?p=2&f=109&t=143716&h=0
for how it works.

God damn F***ING F**K it!!!!
I submitted to pixaco and they cropped them. Don't feel comfortable giving my friends photos of their baby with the head cut off so I think it's back to the drawing board.

Bl00dey Pixaco!!!!! They are defo in my bad books.
I ordered a Canon i9950 printer and a load of consumables(not a small sum) from them last week, and paid an extra 10 Euros for 48 hour delivery. After 72 hours I received an e-mail saying they required further proof of ID! I cancelled the order immediately, but can you imagine my suprise when I turned on my computer this morning? I had an e-mail from them (this is 9 days later now) saying the goods had been dispatched yesterday!

I've done a little bit of digging and think i might know what happened..... IT's a bit of a tale so bear with me!
My broadband at home is cheap as chips as it's resold by a uk company from a german company. The result of this is that my IP address is listed as being in germany.
One of the effects of this is that when I go to google.com or multimap.com I am redirected to the german version of the site. I think this happened with pixaco since the photos were posted from germany.
Oh well, it was only £1.45 so no great loss, I'll re-submit them to the uk site and see if they come back better!

When I ordered from Pixaco, my prints came from Germany too, and my isp is British, so I think that they must send all or at tleast some from Germany.

You'll be pleased to know that means you can buy Gaggia coffee makers from amazon.de cheaper than you can here! I tried ordering one from them and they wouldn't let me.
