Printing Issue
I have designed a card and it came out fantastic, but it is slightly too large. No matter how I rescale the card, when I print it at Walgreens it comes out the wrong size. Does anyone know what settings I need to save the image at to make sure it actually comes out the exact size of a baseball card?

I can't speak to how Walgreens prints things but I always work in images that are 300 dpi that are 750x1050 pixels, or 2.5" by 3.5". If you put 4 on one picture then you can print 5x7 pictures and make a couple cuts.

I'll give it a shot. This is what I've been doing, but I was putting my image into a negative space. That might be causing the problem.

also want to save it at that 5x7 size with the buffer built in so it trims nothing in the end

How I figured out printing at places like that (before I found the best way IMHO) was simply just playing around with it. Change sizes of things. See how they turn out.

Do you print in stores like this or should I invest in a home printer? I worry about the long term quality of a home printing.
