Hi,

I'd like to get some of my photos printed and I've realised that most if not all printers offer printing in 3x2 aspect ratio sizes. I've got quite a few images which are 16x9, but using DSCL or Sim Labs their options for print sizes don't fit 16x9 - but they fit 3x2... so I was wondering, are there any printers that do print in 16x9, or am I going to have to recrop all of those images to a more native printing crop format?
 
DSCL do 16x12 so would only need a little trimming once a fresh image had been created in PP (add a 3 unit wide "margin" to the top or bottom of the chosen image [or 1.5" to both top and bottom]). I used to get 24" wide panoramas printed as a single "image" after stacking several in PSE then cut them out myself.
 
As above I just choose a larger paper size when ordering from Dscl then trim it down when I receive the prints. Works perfectly well. I think there site tells you to do that "somewhere"
