How to Print Photo Booth Strips
Print photo booth strips by exporting a standard 2x6 inch design, placing two strips on a 4x6 photo sheet, and trimming down the middle after printing.
Step-by-step printing checklist
Download the 2x6 print checklist (TXT) to keep beside your printer. Prepare the two-strip sheet in a layout app after downloading your design.

Use a 4x6 print layout
Place two 2x6 strips side by side on one 4x6 photo sheet when ordering from a lab or printing at home.
3
Set print quality
Choose photo paper, portrait orientation, 100% scale when available, and high quality or 300 DPI output.
4
Trim carefully
Cut down the center line with a paper trimmer for clean edges and two finished photo booth strips.
Why are the edges cropped?
Borderless printing may enlarge the image. Check the expansion setting and preview, keep text inside the trim edge, and measure a test print. Use a larger sheet and trim it if your printer cannot keep the full design at actual size.
Will my printer cut two strips automatically?
Only if the printer, driver and selected media support that cut mode. An ordinary 4x6 print needs a manual center cut. Check the printer manual rather than assuming a two-strip layout enables automatic cutting.
Common printing mistakes
- Stretching the strip away from its 1:3 aspect ratio.
- Using fit-to-page settings that add uneven margins.
- Exporting below 600x1800 pixels for a 2x6 inch print.
- Cutting without checking the center line on a 4x6 sheet.
Home printer or photo lab?
A home photo printer gives you fast tests and control over paper. A photo lab is usually easier for consistent 4x6 prints. In both cases, keep the source strip at 2x6 inches and avoid automatic cropping.
