I have a Canon Pixma Pro 100 and have not figured out how I can print Photos in 11 x 14 size. Is it because I have a D7100 Nikon (Crop Sensor) camera? If I set the custom size for width at 14 in the Height is then 9.33 in. Haven't been able to find the work around if there is one. Anyone else experience this?

Crop. The 11x14 aspect ratio is different that that of your cameras sensor.

What post processing program do you use? You will have to do a custom crop and lose portions of your photo -- that's just the reality of the situation.

Thanks I'll give that a try

I use LR/PSCC and have tried the LR print module and the Canon Print software. I will look at cropping also.

I print to several format sizes on a Canon Pro-100 printer.
1.) I strongly suggest that you start with a post processed, but NOT yet cropped JPG.
2.) Duplicate this JPG, then place it in a new folder entitled 11x14.
3.) Crop this dupe to 11x14 format dimensions, then save with a new name (add 11x14 in title).
4.) Using the Canon printer software, select your new JPG, select borderless 11x14 format, and print.

Thanks, that looks do-able.

I just wanted to let you know if you have the skills , you can convert any picture size to another size without losing any of the photo . I have done it for yrs now . My canon camera takes photos in the 4 x 6 print size . I am posting a photo of my niece's house I took . The first photo is the original size of 4 x 6 , the second photo is the same picture converted to 11 x 14 with no cropping done or lose of items . Just had to add a little to top which I did in less then a minute. Tommy

For some reason known only to God & Canon, the latter has not supported 11 x 14 prints. I have no clue now, but there are two easy workarounds.

The first and easiest is to select the 11 x 17 size paper and then trim the right edge to 14". The second is more complex; when you go into the Printer settings mode, use "Custom" as your paper size and print size, click ok. If you are using a PS or PSE program, then select "more options" that menu has three options--Printing choices; Select whatever your PP software is "manages colors; Print size put in 11x14; and finally in Printer Profile chose the paper you are using (if other than Canon, it will want the ICC profile for best results; your can download them from Red River, if you use their papers; (for others like HP, Staples & Costco, you probably won't have the profile so pick what ever looks closest); and for Rendering Intent chose Relative Colormetric.

I don't have any commercial interest in Red River Papers, but have found them to be quite good and about the same cost as Canon papers.

Make sure in one of the various menus you choose "Print Preview" so if it looks wierd you can cancel and change some of the print options.

I'd suggest you practice on some 4x6 paper (it's cheaper) or go to your local print shop and buy some 11 x 17 poster paper (cheaper yet).

Good luck and if you are still having difficulty send me a PM with your e-mail address and I can send you some additional info as attachments.

So you did lose some of the photo in the 4x6 crop, otherwise the 11x14 would be identical to it (except for the final printed size).

if your talking about my samples , your wrong . Both pictures will fit the frame size I posted . 100% guaranteed ,Tommy

35mm and therefore digital will never enlarge to 11x14 without adjustments. The physical dimensions don't work. 11x14 is a standard because of professional film formats that enlarge to 11x14 with minimal cropping. When 35mm became the standard the framing industry refused to adapt therefore Kodak and other paper manufactures didn't adapt either. Digital sensors for DSLRs are based upon 35mm and APS film formats. 11x17 is the size for enlargement without cropping. In recent years it has become a more accepted standard. So just print 11x17 and get a mat and frame that are appropriate. I would forget about 11x14 unless you like that aspect ratio.

Kubota,

I wasn't referring to "your samples"; I had not even seen them! I was only trying to tell the OP how to get the 11" x 14" prints he wanted out of his Canon printer software that does not support the size. I had the same problem with my Canon PIXMA 9000 MK II printer, and a friend gave me the work-around.

But they are no longer the same image. Whether you crop the sides or add to the top it is still altered. Depending on the composition one method or the other may work best. Most people coming from 4x6 prints from 35mm film are more familiar with the cropping method. A method often used to accidentally eliminate a mother in law from the family holiday shot. :)
