Print an image exactly pixel-to-pixel

[David.P]

Hi forum,

is there a way to print an image EXACTLY pixel-to-pixel ("pixel-wise")? For example, I have an image with 200 dpi and want to print it on a 300 dpi printer such that every pixel in the image becomes exactly ONE pixel on the printer (of course in this case, the image gets smaller when printed).

This used to be possible with Kodak Imaging for Windows which however doesn't run anymore on the latest Windows flavors.

Thanks already,

Cheers David.P

Is this what you are looking for?

Hi XnTriq and thanks for the answer.

"Single - DPI" unfortunately does not seem to work:


The above is a 100dpi Tiff b/w image when trying to print it on a 200dpi printer. It should therefore come out much smaller, however is still scaled to fit the entire page when printed this way.

It however does seem to work when "Single - Scale" is used:


Unfortunately, the latter option seems not to be available anymore in MP.

I attach the file for just in case.

Cheers David.P
