What the status line says
With 2 6x8 photos in the list, FitPrint's status line reads exactly "2 items · 1 custom sheet". Add one more and it reads "3 items · 2 custom sheets": the extra item starts a new sheet rather than shrinking anything.
How to lay this out in FitPrint
- Drag your files in. Open FitPrint and drag your 6x8 photo files onto the window. Each file appears in the list with its size in the caption.
- Choose the Tabloid (11x17 in) sheet. Tabloid (11x17 in) has no preset, so pick Custom size and enter 279.4 x 431.8 mm as the sheet size.
- Keep scaling on Original size. Original size places every item at 100 percent, so a printed item measures exactly what the file says it measures.
- Leave packing on Fit most. Fit most packs as many items per sheet as fit. With the default 5 mm gap and 5 mm side margin that is 2 6x8 photos per Tabloid (11x17 in) sheet.
- Change the gap or side margin only if you need to. The defaults are a 5 mm gap and a 5 mm side margin. The settings table on this page shows what every other recorded setting places on this sheet.
- Export and print at actual size. Click Export PDF, then set Scale to 100 percent and Pages per Sheet to 1 in the print dialog so nothing re-scales the exported file.
