Hi Don´forget the settings on the printer! I´did when I made some passport images, the printer settings was "fill the paper". I made the biggest passport images ever seen. Flat screens in general seems to show smaller then 100% - To see a A4-paper as an A4 on screen I have to set 130% view on my Apple 21"-screen.
