Scrapbook Factory Deluxe - printing 8x8

[5C-Mom]

I have gotten as far as exporting completed pages as .jpg files. I created them as 12x12, but want to print 8x8, so I resized them to 8x8 300dpi when I changed them to .jpg. When they print, though, they're coming out 7.75". Is there a way to remove that white margin and have the image print 8x8? Should I be resizing to 8.25".

Grrr...ok, I tried resizing to 8.25 but it still printed at 7.75. Then I tried going with the borderless option on my printer and it printed at 8.25, both when it was sized at 8.25 and again at 8.00. It's automatically resizing it before it prints, rather than going with what I saved it at. I'm printing from Windows Picture Viewer. Is there something else I could/should be using that would print it the size I want? Picasa seems to want to resize it automatically, too.

Also...if I were to have these printed professionally somewhere, would I have these sizing issues?

Im thinking its something in your printer settings -- but check the actual pixel measurements of the jpg file - how many pixels wide and deep is it

[5C-Mom]

It's 2475x2475 (that's with it saved at 8.25"). Does that sound right?

Ahhhhh...I figured it out! I needed to change the margin settings in SFD to 0 before exporting it as a JPG. I'm getting true 8x8s now!

I am having the same problem! I changed the margins but it's still cutting the bottom off. Why do you have to change to jpg first? I tried all day with this and i'm stuck!

Tricia, Which margins are you changing all of them before you save? I'm getting 8X6 now.

I changed all the margins to 0.00 and I set the height/width to 8x8 (in page setup). Worked perfectly for me. If I print from SFD, I don't need to export to .jpg. I just wanted to because I'm going to have some printed at a few different places so I can check around for quality and costs.
