How it went down
16 x 20 pre-cut mat w/ opening for "8 x 10" turned out to have an opening for a 7.5 x 9.5 image. I don't know if that's normal or not as I've never done this but if it says it's pre-cut for an 8 x 10 image and the opening is actually 7.5 x 9.5, that's not pre-cut for an 8 x 10...is it?
Printing my picture
No matter what I did, I could not get the entire image to print as an 8 x 10. No matter what I did, it just wasn't happening.
Changing printer preferences - nada.
Changing printer paper size - nada.
Changing photo size - nada.
Hence the white borders on the top and bottom of the photo itself - it was the only way I could get my printer to print the entire image, and not crop off the far left trolley or the far right trolley completely out of the image while printing.
But this is a learning experience and besides, I was doing this for Elliott and he likes it so that's all that matters in the end.
Except for when I really do need to print an image at an exact size and need a mat pre-cut for an exact size image.
