How to print a 10×15 cm photo sheet

Download the sheet, print it at 100% on photo paper, and cut along the marks — at home or at any print shop.

Category: Downloads and printing

Every paid order includes ready-made print sheets as well as the single digital file. A sheet is one page with several copies of your photo already arranged and spaced, so you only have to print and cut.

Which sheet to download

On the order page you will find three sheets:

  • 10×15 cm — the standard photo print in Europe, the Middle East and most of the world.
  • 4×6 in — the same thing in the United States and Canada.
  • A4 — for an ordinary office printer, with more copies per page.

Pick the one your printer or your photo shop actually uses. If you are going to a shop, 10×15 cm (or 4×6 in) is what their machine prints without asking questions.

Printing at a photo shop

Download the sheet as JPEG and take it on your phone, on a USB stick, or send it to the shop's upload page. Ask for a 10×15 cm photo print, borderless, no cropping, no automatic correction. That last part matters: some shop software "improves" skin tones and shifts the colours of the background.

A single print costs very little almost anywhere, and you get several passport photos out of it.

Printing at home

Use photo paper, not plain paper — an office print on plain paper is usually refused because the surface is matte and the colours are flat.

In the print dialogue:

  1. Choose the paper size that matches the sheet (10×15 cm, 4×6 in or A4).
  2. Set scaling to 100% or "actual size". Never "fit to page", which shrinks everything by a few percent and makes the head the wrong height.
  3. Turn off any "photo enhancement" your printer driver offers.
  4. Print one test page and measure a photo with a ruler before printing more.

Cutting

Each copy has thin guide marks around it. Cut along them with scissors or a paper trimmer, keeping the blade just inside the mark. Do not cut closer than the mark to "centre the face better" — the margins are part of the specification.
