The fact is that what you are really saying is: STOP COMPLAINING!

Seems like your so-called facts always tend to be one-sided.

Some likely don't, but I don't make assumptions and generalizations about all photographers.
Many (those of us who were trained and paid to do this job, those who take the task more seriously) certainly can.You are making a mountain out of a mole-hill...

Based on hundreds (s) of years of photography and many differing aspect ratios, I wouldn't think that. I think people should learn to crop photos for an ideal composition no matter the original aspect ratio or paper size. That is a major aspect of the art of photography and printing. Some might find it close to rocket science, but not everyone, not I.
Photographers don't have the time to think about complicated things such as "aspect ratios" when they are taking pictures. Maybe Mathematicians do, but not photographers...

Because of differences in the print size you choose and a photo’s shape (set in your camera), you may find that important parts of some photos will be cropped. Since we print and crop prints exactly as shown on the print builder screen, you should review each photo to ensure each one fits the selected print size.
https://www.mpix.com/help/faq
We are unable to offer a full frame printing feature. It is mathematically impossible for our printers to avoid cropping on files that do not meet the aspect ratio of the print size ordered. We suggest ordering print sizes (example: 8x12 vs. 8x10) that allow more cropping room. The red crop box will show you how your image will be printed.You would think that by now the paper printing manufacturers, would put out products that would fit the aspect ratios of the camera that millions of people use on a daily basis. But no, they still adhere to middle age concepts for no known obvious reason ? I mean this is not rocket science.

I have printed photos on cloth for my Wife's Quilting passion - similar deal with a few tricks needed.
With the Pixma Pro 100 ?

You are well beyond me with a roll capable printer. Mine is the old Pixma Pro 100.
Mine is the Canon Pro-300 that does NOT have roll printing capabilities. But it does allow you to feed the paper through the back of the unit but you have to hold it in a certain way as if it was Roll paper ??
I hope to learn more of these techiques as I grow along...
I recently subscribed to the services of a dear old friend of mine and Mentor, who is into Landscape Photography and has been teaching in his easy-going, non-judgemental, non-abraisive style for a while now. If you you are interesested you can join the Academy now for a small fee.

No, but one way or another, I can usually make it work For example, my yearly cast portrait shoot for the local Players Group will be close to full frame printed 8.5 x 11 vertical aspect. Nothing lost. Wildlife, simply because of distance, bugs, ditto to increase their apparent size.
I do have a stack of 4x6 paper, but that isn't the answer printing for others. In that situation I would print and trim. Fortunately, my "customers" are getting free photos in support of their plays for charity and are invariably pleased.
Trim is likely the only choice the rotary trimmers are very good. Mine is a Roll & Schnitt.
Time to put my rotary trimmer to work ! Here is what Canon says about borderless prints:

The way some cameras change aspect ratios is by cropping. You can do the same thing cropping after the capture. You might do better thinking of this in terms of the aspect ratio you WANT i the image, not whatever a particular camera happens to provide.
Any image will fit exactly only on paper that has the same aspect ratio, whether it's 1:1 or something else, unless you distort the image by stretchin or compressing. That's all there is to it.
I don't know what "specialized" photo paper is, but none of the many boxes of paper in my studio have a square aspect ratio. If you are used to English rather than matric sizes, photo papers are typically 4 x 6, 5 x 7, 8.5 x 11, 11 x 14, 11 x 17, 13 x 19, or 17 x 22. I have a few odd ones too, like 7 x 10 card stock, but nothing square. Maybe there is some out there.
The problem is that the pictures you are trying to print are not always your picture. Let's say that I'm trying to run a printing service where people send me their images to be printed. I just can't go in there and start cropping willy-nilly. If the final print is cropped the custmer might not accept it because it is cropped. I can't tell customers to send me images with this or that aspect ratio either, this is silly. So what I'm trying to figure out is how to get a photo regardless of aspect ratio on a standard print.

At the end of it all, if you want the full frame, the paper will have to have the same aspect ratio, be trimmed, or the image be cropped for the print. My experience is that I prefer my own crops to software "fit to".
So do you shoot pictures in anticipation of cropping ?

Unfortunately, aspect ratios are what they are. You either crop to fit the paper or leave borders to retain the original image contents. Otherwise you are depending on some sort of algorithm to change things for you, which, as you have seen, doesn't work very well most of the time.
Most digital cameras use the 3:2 aspect ratio. Not sure about film ? Some digital cameras allow you to switch to the 4:3 aspect ratio, or the 1:1 "square' aspect ratio and even the 16:9 aspect ratio. As far as I know only the 1:1 square aspect ratio will fit perfectly on speciallized printing paper ?

"Bottom line: if you don't want to distort a photo, the aspect ratios of the image and the paper (or the printed image on the paper) have to be the same. When you checked "maintain aspect ratio," the computer left blank areas in order not to distort the image."
Yes, the last image is distorted as I was trying to point out to you. The software sort of streched the image so it could fit. If I had not uncheked the [] 'maintain aspect ratio', the image would have a space at the bottom or top. Instead of pointing out flaws, what is the solution to resolve this problem ? Why haven't software manufactures addressed this issue in 2024 ?

"Another option is to use paper that matches the proportions of your files, if possible (4x6", 8x12", 12x18", etc.)"
I tried using 8X10 paper. The aspect ratio on my camera is 3:2. In the Printer Settings for the Photoshop print function, I changed the paper size on the dropdown list to 8X10" from 8.5X11". Unfortunately the boundary box on printer layout either clipped the image, or there was some empty space at the top or the bottom of the borderless print ? The only way I could get a borderless print on 8X10" was to change the paper size to 4X6" then stretch the boundary box to fit 8X10 ?
I must be doing something wrong ? Years ago I use to be able to easily make borderless prints(if I remember correctly). I just forgot how to do it ??

Well, today was the most spam I can recall in a long time. Took quite a while to clean it up. Several of you have been very helpful by reporting. Had a thought today that might improve your experience. I would like to PM half a dozen or so of you with the thought that we / you could divide and conquer. Split days and times when you report and when another member of the group does. It would reduce time you spend and duplication of effort as well. If that sounds like the start of a plan, and you don't mind others included in a PM group knowing of your participation, please drop me a private note. I have a massive file of reports with a lot of familiar names.
Thanks! S
Maybe it's time to call law enforcement...

Is it possible to print Borderless images on 8.5" X 11" (Letter) size paper without cropping the image ? I tried several Printing software including: Photo Shop, Canon Easy Print, Canon Professional Layout, Corel Paintshop, ACDsee etc. Unless I crop the image by about an inch All of them leave some empty space at the top or bottom of the printing paper. I made sure to check the [] Borderless box before printing....
