printing passport photos?

Can anyone tell me the best way to print passport size photos with my
Epson Stylus R220? I have 6x4" photo paper. I 'might' have some A4
photo paper as well, not sure if I have any of that left.

I'm not sure what size exactly passport photos are meant to be and how
many I would be able to fit on 6 by 4? Are there any setting in the
Epson Photo Quicker program that will do passport sized photos?

Cheers

John

1. You may need to specify which set of passport specifications
you mean (e.g. EU, USA etc.)
2. If you do not need to conform to exact specifications,
why not print on each sheet as many photos as pleases you?

Hi, Sorry, I forgot to mention. It is for UK specifications.

Thanks

You may be interested in a program called Passport Photo sold by
OnTheGoSoft which covers all the tricky bits and was not expensive.
I have found it easy to use.

Easy! Just size the photo, using a photo editor program, to the size
specified and print it. It's that simple.

IDPhotoStudio by KCSoftwares has no bells and whistles [can't edit or adjust
the photo] but it is free and worth a try.

I would expect there are regulations published somewhere for passport
images. Some may not even allow inkjet output. The type of paper is
sometimes indicated as well (glossy or matte) and the dimensions, how
much of the upper body can show, and if a signature space is required,
etc. You may find this information on line, I'm not sure.

I just had to do this for my wife's and daughter's US passports. This
requires two 2"x2" photos.

I created the photos in LightZone and printed them 2x2. Almost any
photo editor should be able to do this. I needed the editor for sizing,
but I also needed to blur the background in one photo.

It was easy to do two on one 4x6 piece of photo paper. I could have
done more but only needed two.

While the OP requested info for UK, those in the USA can find passport
and visa photo dimension and technical requirements at the US government
passport site. See Guidelines for Producing High Quality Photographs
for U.S. Travel Documents:
