Printing from digitial

[Rob1379]

Hello,

I've amassed a collection of snaps from by X-E3 that I would like to print.  I'm getting slightly scuppered by frame sizes.  They are in 3:2 ration - however does this mean that i will be able to fit into a frame of this ratio  (e.g. 6inch by 9 inch) with no danger of the edges of the photo showing?  Or, is there an art to either cropping it, or getting a slightly smaller frame?

 

Secondly:  Shooting with the X-E3, with 4000 x 6000 resolution - what's the largest I can reasonably expect to print to?  My penchant is for landscapes, and viewing will generally be from 2+ metres away.

Thank you

Rob

Print 2 mt X 3mt if you see from  2 mt of distance.

May I ask if you are printing the images yourself or sending them to a printers?

Are you displaying in frames/on boards with no surround or other?

Will you be printing the whole frame or are you planning to crop regularly?

More questions than answers, but bear with me

I've printed up to 30 x 20 from a 6mp file way back in 2005.  With the 24mp files, you can easily do 30 x 20 and larger!  I've seen 40 x 30 and bigger at a Fuji show in NYC.  Of course, we photographers tend to pixel peep.  So if you stand back 3-4 feet the image, assuming you used proper shot discipline, will be amazing.  At home I print 13 x 19 weekly but yeah you can go pretty large.

Hello all,

 

Thank you very much for your answers, and I apologise for the long period of silence from me!  I had an issue with getting alerts to tell me that a reply had been left...

 

In reply to Sharkey4711

I will be sending them to a printer.  I have been using Snapfish (I am in the UK).  They have been a decent price, and the quality has been fine for standard/ small prints. 

Question - any recommendations for a decent printer for larger prints?

 

I will be displaying in frames - likely with a mount.

 

Regarding whole frame / cropping - likely will depend on how my photo looks!  Assume more than likely that I will not be cropping.

 

Thank you all for your help,

 

Rob
