Sony NEX-5 Panoramic Photo printing

nervous_pilchard — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 19:20:02 GMT

Hi.

I have a Sony NEX-5 and have taken a number of sweeping panoramic photos. I would like to print them using my HP Officejet Pro 8500A printer, but am unsure how. I have both MAC OS and Windows XP so am pretty flexible. Would prefer a solution the Mac though.

I dont mind printing it on A4 paper but not sure what settings to change or amend.

Or is there some software that will help? Also, can anyone recommend an online shop that could print them for me proper panoramic size?

Thanks in advance.

I think your OfficeJet Pro can print 12" X 4" panoramic pictures.

I guess you just need to select the paper size you are using and then select 'Scale to fit paper size' and it will print as large as is possible.

Have a look at the section on printing on custom sized media in the manual for your printer - Page 44 here: -

Someone may be prepared to recommend a commercial printer but there are several available if you Google.
