8x10 photo on 8x10 paper: scaled to 96.2 percent to fit
An 8x10 photo is 203.2 x 254 mm. The sheet is 8x10 paper, 203.2 x 254 mm, entered as a Custom size in FitPrint. The layout below is what FitPrint produces with its defaults: Fit most packing, Original size scaling, a 5 mm gap between items and a 5 mm side margin. At the default gap and margin the item does not fit inside the usable area of the sheet, so Original size scales it down to 96.2 percent and places it at 195.48 x 244.35 mm. It is never cropped or split across sheets.

What the status line says
With 1 8x10 photo in the list, FitPrint's status line reads exactly "1 item · 1 custom sheet". Add one more and it reads "2 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 8x10 photo files onto the window. Each file appears in the list with its size in the caption.
- Choose the 8x10 paper sheet. 8x10 paper has no preset, so pick Custom size and enter 203.2 x 254 mm as the sheet size.
- Keep scaling on Original size. At the default 5 mm gap and 5 mm side margin, this 8x10 photo does not fit inside the usable area of the 8x10 paper sheet, so Original size scales it down to 96.2 percent (195.48 x 244.35 mm) to fit. It is never cropped or split across sheets.
- Leave packing on Fit most. Fit most packs as many items per sheet as fit. At the default gap and margin this one does not fit inside the usable area, so FitPrint scales it to 96.2 percent and places one per 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.
