How to Print Square Prints at Home

Printing Square Artwork on A4 or A3 Paper

Most home printers don’t print square paper directly — but you can easily print square artwork on A4 or A3 sheets and trim it to size.

1. Choose your square size

Common square sizes you can print at home:

Your artwork will print centred on the page.

2. Set your printer to 100% scale

This ensures the artwork prints at the correct size without shrinking or stretching.

3. Use High Quality mode

This gives sharper edges and better colour accuracy.

4. Print on A4 or A3 photo paper

Matte for art prints, gloss for photography, satin for an all‑round finish.
