Sheet dimensions

Statement can hold a small photo with room for a border. Its dimensions differ from A5, which is 148 × 210 mm. If you prepare a file for one and select the other in a print dialog, automatic fitting can change the intended image size.

A layout at actual size

A portrait 4 × 6 inch image centred on Statement leaves 0.75 inch at the sides and 1.25 inches at the top and bottom. A 5 × 7 inch image leaves 0.25 inch at the sides and 0.75 inch vertically. Choose the latter only if the device can use the resulting area.

Margins and printing limits

A Half Letter label does not guarantee that a printer can feed a small cut sheet. Check the supported media sizes and loading instructions. You can instead lay out the same image on a supported larger sheet, retaining its physical dimensions and trimming afterward.

The spaces in the example are calculated from the paper and image rectangles. They are not a device-specific margin recommendation. Match the PDF page to the loaded paper and check a physical calibration mark before relying on the final dimensions.
