How to fit and render image to an A4 sized page

Halcon Bluesky

Usually I has been doing renders to match the display format (3840x2160 px)

When I did the renders these do not cover the whole page.

A4 page orientation is set to Landscape and the page size is 210mm x 297mm when printing.

Daz studio has some presets in Render Settings pane, Letter and another type.

Can you please tell me how to fit the image into the target area if possible create and save as a render preset into the Render Settings?

I need this to do my next project if possible to use it often as I want the printed image to fit into a picture frame.

Your input is appreciated thanks!

A4 is 8.25 inches by 11.67 inches, so if you want 300PPI type 8.25*300 and 11.67*300 into the size boxes (with the Cosntrain Aspect option off). Or use 25.4 mm to the inch - 210 / 25.4 * 300 and 297 / 25.4 * 300

Or, if you still want to render 4K+ image and will print the render with Laser Jet printer, you may change pixel size to 3840 x 2716. Then print the render with borderless opition... you may get higher printing quality on A4 paper.

The "ISO Paper" presets will get you the right aspect ratio, and you can adjust the exact pixel size from there.

Thanks for your input, Richard Haseltine crosswind and murgatroyd314

 I will try and compare which can do a better fitting job for what I need.

Althought I have been doing 4K renders, I am not sure if this can produce better printing output on a Brother Laser Printer.

I followed Richard Haseltine advice, this worked like a charm; I am very satisfied with the results.

If there are some of you that use this type of paper for printing your work, I reccomend it to do that.

I have not tried the other methods mentioned here, just saved it as A4 Paper Preset.

It does not mean the other methods are no worth, I will try them later, I will be focused on another project. 

The render took 2 hours to complete.

(Some family members were impressed, it will fit into a Picture Frame) 

Thank you very much, this issue has been solved!

Do color laser printers do "borderless"? Some printing machines (like the ones at Staples) seem to have a fixed border. Worse it's kind of hit and miss with the "slightly thicker" edge jumping around a bit... so any really precise printing of letter, A4 or legal sizes or anything in that range may have to be set up for 11 x 17 "tabloid" sheets of paper, and then you trim the excess.

If so, I misunderstood by the info. from our local vendor. Thanks !

Unlike InkJet Printers, I don't think Laser Printers may offer Borderless Printing.

For more info regarding the printer capabilities you need to head to the printer manufacturer website and look up for the specs.

The quality is good, I like the brand and also I can print plenty with it 

If you ever run out of ink, then look for the cheaper alternative, is good as the original as well
