Trying to set a 13 x19 contact sheet template

[papaross]

I'm using Lightroom 2.6. I am attempting to set a user template for a cell size of 13x19 for 1 print, using 1 cell and 1 column and ' margins. I usually use "zoom to fit". But the maximum cell size allowed is 12.96 x 19.'1. This, of course, leaves a thin white strip when printing on 13x19 paper. I am using a canon pixma 9''' plus. Does anyone know how to maximum cell size to 13x19?

As far as I can tell this is the maximum to which the cell size can be set with 13x19 inch paper on a Canon 9''' set to border-less printing. In both Ver 2.x and the 3.' Public Beta the max size is 12.96x19.'1. I checked two different versions of the Canon printer (MK1 and MK2) and the result was the same.

According to the published size in the Canon Driver A3+Paper is 329x483mm. There are 25.4 mm per inch. Dividing out the paper size in mm, you get 12.953 x 19.'15. It looks like the paper is actually slightly smaller than 13 inches wide according to the Canon driver. Off hand, I would say that Canon's driver is the root of the trouble.

I did a little more research for you and found out this is a printer limitation. Here is a copy/paste from the Canon Pixma 9''' Manual regarding specifications.

Print Width

Auto Sheet Feeder: 322.2 mm max. (12.7 inches)
(for Borderless Printing: 329 mm / 12.9 inches)
