IT does have an input. How are you thinking to do that?

If it's that big use something like dropbox and at least get it to your computer for editing and/or printing. RAW are usually too large for many mailers.

You can use Printer Pro from Readdle on your iPad and you will need Printer Pro Desktop on your Mac computer. I don't know if this will work with a PC. Works really well for me.

I’m wonder if file format matters? iOS stuff wants exFat? Or Fat32? A printer may expect a Fat32 card? Just asking, I don’t copy to cards or thumb drives from my iPad. I usually cable directly to the PC.

Considering that an image in RAW is just another file, yes you can!
If the file is too large to e-mail directly, download and install Dropbox (or another similar program) to transfer it from your computer to another one.
Dropbox is free, and I use it regularly to send photos or other documents to my sister and several of my friends.

Well you have had some interesting suggestions

1. sneakernet.

2. e-mail

I will add a couple more:

Dropbox or some other similar service. A computer with a printer then can be used.

After processing to jpg send your file to Printique or similar service.

Thank you! I'll have to see if it does work with Windows 10. Much appreciated!

I just looked up the app and if I'm looking at the right one, it says it supports Airplay models. I'm trying to edit on my iPad and print to a usb only printer.

Connect the iPad to your computer with a USB cable. If File Explorer does not open, then open it and find the iPad in the list. Your photos should be visible and you can then transfer them to your computer. Then open them on your computer and print them to the connected printer. No WiFi is used at all.

Printique, isn't that a printing service? I guess if I cannot print myself, it would be the way to go but I'd like to print my own photos, if I can.

Thank you!!! Do I need a special adapter, or just the normal cable that is used to charge the iPad?

Adapter not necessary. User your “normal” cable assuming it’s a USB variant that your computer can handle. 99% are USB-A, I believe.
