Custom Image Composition Packages

Creating a Custom
Package
You can print multiple copies of an image in different sizes on the same page.
For example, a package might contain a 4 x 6 in. (10.16 x 15.24 cm) and
two 3.5 x 5 in. (8.89 x 12.7 cm). The page is trimmed to provide individual
prints.
Printer drivers for KODAK printers typically provide a number of standard
packages. The drivers also let you import custom package files for layouts not
included with their standard packages.
Custom package files are ASCII text files that you can create with a variety of
text-editing software (for example, WINDOWS Notepad).
You must save the file with a .kpg extension. You can save
