I felt in love with this, while testing your example. I'm sorry, it's a commercial image. I don't own the copyright. However it can be purchased at high resolution (color) for an affordable price: http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup/people_specific_attributes/race/mixed_background/3259587_old_paper_xxl.php?id=3259587 I hope the link doesn't break, if it does search for "Old Paper XXL". iStockPhoto has lots of really good artwork available at reasonable prices. > > Anyhow, the cut markings are still lying under the picture (Hans?), > the rest should work.

Basically Lulu will print a 9.25"x6.25" image onto their paper. Then a centered 9"x6" page will be cut from that. This way full bleed print is achieved. Though I'm still wondering about one thing: What's better in my case \printpapersize or \overlaysize?
