I have a dye sublimation printer that spits out a photo that is "landscape", meaning 6 inches across and 4 inches high.

Am I able to print a photo that is essentially (2) identical 2"x6" photo strips with a total of 4 photos taken?

-Keep in mind, the printer has a spool of paper in it, so changing the way the paper loads is not an option.
-It appears that I can only replicate columns, not rows.
-It seems I would want to rotate the images 90 degrees and duplicate them

Again, I want a 4"x6" photo that I can cut in half into 2 photo strips. However, my printer prints a landscape image.


If you can't answer that, what print options do you offer to your clients and do you use ink jet or dye sub?

Thanks!

We use a copal 4x6 dye sub and do what you are asking for

Set the format to portrait and the driver takes care of that for you.

Paper feed doesnt change, but the image gets rotated, then we slice the 4x6 into two 2x6's and preserve the traditional photobooth look...

Thanks for the reply. I figured you could do that...when I originally took that approach the printer said I had the wrong paper size, so I started to over think it.
