DD PrintCenter provides you three standard paper sizes. They are A4,

4*6 and 3*5 inch styles.

Each paper size contains three types of layout templates. First, you

select a paper size and you can see three corresponding layout

templates on the right part of the window. Each layout template

shows you the actual size of a single photo and the number of photos

a single paper can print, such as 24 mm*18 mm. Select the layout by

click on the picture you want to print. You will see the picture you
