printing 16:9 photos

[photocathode]

I recently got a panasonic Lx-1 which i enjoy shooting in 16:9 aspect ratio. Unfortunately I seem to be having troubles finding shops that can print in 16:9 without trimming. Does anyone know of a shop that prints such photos? Or any photo printer in the market that does the same thing. Cant seem to find the panasonic printers in singapore though.

I don't think there are paper in 16:9 format. Print in 3:2. You will just sacrifice a little of your image left & right.

Think Canon's line of SELPHY printers can print pano format if I'm not wrong.. but needs a special adaptor and paper set..

for some photolab will print odd sizes like colourlab @ adelphi, however do enquire with them about the picture size before you agree to print out.
can ask them to show you the output from their screen.

I use the Panasonic 16:9 paper and print them myself.

16:9 = (4:3)^2 horhorhor
uh.
how about printing it, then cutting away the top and bottom?

ya.. i actually tried that.. i took my pictures to developed.. and they cut down the sides instead of fitting the width...i think i will have to edit the pictures again
