Quick Answer

Should I print passport photos at home or at a photo lab?

If printed photos are accepted, IDPhoto Pro can create a 4x6, A4, or Letter print layout after the photo is checked. A photo lab may provide more consistent paper and cutting quality, while home printing can be faster when you have suitable photo paper and printer settings.
