What printer settings should I use for passport photos?
Set paper type to 'Photo Paper' or 'Premium Glossy,' quality to 'Best' or 'High,' and print size to 'Actual Size' (100%—do not scale to fit). Disable color management overrides. Use a color inkjet printer for best results.
How do I cut a 2×2 photo correctly after printing?
Use a metal ruler and a craft knife (or a paper trimmer) to cut along the grid lines. Each photo must measure exactly 2×2 inches—verify with a ruler. Avoid tearing or ragged edges. The finished photo should have no white border.
