Aperture 2.0 / Epson (Multiple Printers) Borderless Printing Issue

Our photography business recently purchased some Nikon D3s. As Aperture 2.0 is necessary to utilize them, we became an early adopter of Aperture 2.0. Immediately after the upgrade, borderless printing became impossible on all of our Epson R2400s and our Epson 3800s.
Through a VERY painful process, we were able to get the R2400s to print borderless 4x6s, but no other sizes. The 3800s are a different story. Not only is it impossible to print borderless, but the printed images are rotated by about 1-2 degrees in the clockwise direction.
It is important to note that no other program (Photoshop, Lightroom, etc.) are experiencing this behavior -- only Aperture and immediately following the 2.0 upgrade.
One oddity that may provide a clue. All combinations of paper, border size, "expand" settings, etc. have been tried. Every time, even the calibration pages printed with a border. On paper, however, allows the calibration page to print to the edge, however, 16-bit printing MUST BE TURNED OFF. Although it prints to the edge, it is still rotated by 1-2 degrees. Turning off 16-bit printing does NOT, however, make any image print correctly -- only the calibration page (and it is not correct).
Apple -- if you are reading this, please respond as quickly as possible. We rely on aperture for our business workflow. It is not practical for us to print every image out of Adobe's suite.

Epson hasn't released a driver for the 1280 since July of 2006. Real simple to check:

I think that's an Epson problem, not an Aperture problem. Many printer drivers had to be updated for OS X 10.5 Leopard (released in October of 2007). Hopefully one is coming, but that is an older printer, so I wouldn't hold out a lot of hope.
I didn't check for the Kodak, but it should be easy for you to find that info over at Kodak's web site.

Borderless Printing Issues

Don't know if this is the appropriate place to ask this, but I just can't work out how to get a borderless print from Illustrator CS5.5 and my Epson 2100 on Mac OS X 10.7.
I don't print a lot, but now I have a need to do so. When I was using Windows, I didn't have this issue, but on OS X, I'm struggling.
This is what happens.
I have a A3 document with graphics that go edge to edge. I select A3 (Sheet feeder - borderless) in the Media size box, and have tried selecting 'Do not Scale' and 'Fit to Page'. Both give the same results, i.e. borderless printing, but the document doesn't fit on the page - it is being cropped.
If I select A3 (Standard - minimise margins) in the Media size box, and either of the options mentioned before, then I get the whole document, but with a small margin all around the paper.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks.

There are many printers out there that says they are borderless, but all they do is print closer to the edge. I personally believe manufacturos should not be be able to claim borderless, unless they truly are.
Though you have a setting that says borderelss, I would try the 2 suggestions i gave you (the .ppd you have form Epson may not be optimized for Illustrator, as they really program that for the photo quicker. If you want to solve your problem you will have to invest the ink and 2 sheets of paper and find out if your printer can truly print to the edge. Also make sure your paper is inserted properly.
I would call Epson and get their response on the issue, would love to hear their response.

Borderless Printing issues with HP Officejet 4500

I have created a document using Microsoft word 2007 and am having trouble printing this document without borders. I have a HP Officejet 4500 which does support borderless printing. I have gone into properties when getting ready to print and made sure to check the borderless box. I am still left with a small 1/8 inch border around the entire page. I tried the shortcuts and selected brochures with the same results. I also tried changing the settings through word. I went into page set up and made the margins "0.0" on both sides as well as the top and bottom of the page. It still prints with borders. What am I missing???? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Having the same issue. I tried to print boderless from many different programms and with all settings I could choose. I get out a full photo or document after maybe 20 prints. Everytime the printer wants to print at least 2 pages, stops printing after 10-50% and restarts again.
I really would like to hear back from HP.

Borderless Printing issue on Epson R1900

I'm using the latest Snow Leopard, Aperture and Epson drivers.
This one is driving me nuts. I have some 5x7 paper. The paper size choices include a "5x7 in" option and a "5x7 in (Sheet Feeder - Borderless)" option. In Photoshop, these work as expected - 5x7 has border, 5x7 borderless does not. In Aperture, 5x7 works but Borderless (and, as it appears, and paper with all borders defined as 0) is interpreted by the driver as roll paper and I get an error when printing:
"The Source selected in the printer driver is not appropriate for the paper that is loaded in the printer. To print on a CD/DVD, first remove the paper and then open the front tray. Load the CD/DVD tray into the front tray, then resume printing."
Any advice?

I've actually had this issue on my R1900 way back into 10.5.8 so it's not caused by Snow Leopard (or fixed for that matter). I have been able to get around it but by doing things like opening the ink compartment and resetting ink that I had just inserted or by changing the paper. All kind of random and I haven't found any one thing that avoids the error but it will print. Eventually. Sometimes. I really wish someone would figure out why it is doing this, it has actually been an issue for me since I first got the R1900...

Using iMac, Aperture 3, and & Epson Stylus Photo R1800 printer: How come my prints look like trash?

I have calibrated my iMac Intel Core i3 and printing through Aperture 3 with an Epson Stylus Photo R1800 is not producing great results. Cyan is dominating along with blue lines through the grass in the picture. I figure the lines are a result of clogged head...but the fact the prints are not close to the image on the screen is alarming. HELP!!!

SFSteinie,
There is an Aperture forum, I'd recommend reposting there and perhaps another R I 1800 users has some insight you may not know about.

Multiple computers network printing issues

Hi All,
I am hoping someone can help.
I have 8 x 2.4 ghz 24" Imacs operating 10.4.11 networked via ethernet to two printers, (Canon ipf5000 and Canon ipf6100). The Imacs are wired through Cisco switches to the printers. When sending from Adobe CS4 I use a specific Canon printing plugin for the printers mentioned. When I have multiple print drivers running, (or even open and not active), the printer driver can't handle it. The various drivers seem to affect each other causing miscues galore. Will a true print server clear this up?
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
phil

Hi j_dext,
I understand the printer is setup on the network and working on the one computer but the other one isn't recognizing the printer.
I will be happy to help you.
Print a configuration page to get the printer's IP address.
Printing Information Pages. Go to the section M1210 / M1218nfs series to print it from the control panel.
If you have a valid IP address for the printer then try and access the embedded web server for the printer.
Type the IP address into Internet Explorer address bar.
If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
Power cycle the computer and router.
Make sure the computer is on the proper network.
Find out what the computers IP address is.
Hold down the Windows key on the keyboard and the letter R.
Then type "cmd", then type "ipconfig".
Check the computers IPv4 address.
The first 3 sets of numbers should match the first 3 sets of numbers on the printers IP address to be on the same network.
Do the first 3 sets of numbers match the printer's IP address?
Try and ping the printer.
In the same window type ping IP address of printer. (space in between ping and the IP)
Do you get any replies back?
Then run the installation again if everything is recognized and you get a reply back.

Multiple Crashes and Printer Issues - Help!

I've been very disappointed in Snow Leopard. On my iMac it is freezing up constantly. I NEVER have to reboot that iMac, and in less than 48 hours since I've installed it, I've had to reboot 5 times . It looks like iPhoto of all things is the program that crashes it - can't really tell. The whole screen freezes, including the doc and all menu bar options. Nothing is clickable, but the mouse still works - but can't click or right click anything. Have to turn off and then back on again to fix it.
On my MacBook Pro 17", I have the latest Final Cut Studio installed, and I can't run Final Cut Pro at all!! I need to edit a video tonight, and it crashes every single time I try to do anything in the video - 5 crashes in a row and still counting.
Finally, none of my HP printers work now - can't print using the same paper options I had before to print pictures. Rosetta has been installed on both machines.
Is there any help to fix these?!?! I'm seriously considering putting Leopard back on all my machines.

Your warranty is for one year, so Best Buy should repair it under the warranty assuming there is something that needs repairing.
You may have a software incompatibility problem at work. You have been experiencing kernel panics so a first start would be to look at a panic log to see what it tells us. We can try diagnosing everything until the problem is tracked down or you can go the extreme route which is to backup your data, erase the drive, and reinstall OS X.
For the former visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics. Also seeOS X- How to log a kernel panic. Then post the panic log here so we can see what it tells us.
I would also suggest you try booting into Safe Mode and see if your computer's problems cease. If they don't then create a new user account. Log out of your account and log into the new account. Do the problems cease?

Borderless printing issue

I am attempting to print borderless for postcards. I created the post card in Print Explosion Deluxe 3.0.1.1. I put the page setup to 8 1/2x 11 borderless and I ma printing on a Canon MP460. When I check the preview the image and colors are fine but when I print it the colors are all faded out. if I change to any other document set up the color intensity returns but I end with borders on the outer edges that chop of the outer edges of the post cards. Anyone have some suggestions? I'm not certain why the colors washout in borderless. I even increased the color intensity in color options but still got the same washed out colors.

Hi Nicholaspaint, and a warm welcome to the forums!
On the Border/Chopping off issue, when the Print Dialog comes up, choose Copies & Pages, then Paper handling, look for the boxes... Use Paper size & Fit to Paper Size, use this last one selecting the right size, and uncheck Scale down only

Epson Stylus Pro 4000 - Printing issues

I am having trouble printing from Photoshop to my Epson stylus pro 4000. Specifically, I am not able to access choices other than plain paper, tracing paper and line paper for printing my images. The following are some screen shots of what I see. Does anyone out there know why this is happening and if there is some setting/compatibility issue. I would really appreciate any insights and tips for a solution. I noticed the problem when I started using CS5. I have also downloaded the most updated driver for the Epson and that didn't seem to do anything. Thanks!

I asume that you have updated the Epson printer driver via the Apple Updater? I had the same problem with my R1900. I suggest that you look at G Ballard's website. You will need to remove the Epson folder from your Library/Printer folder and from Print/Fax in System Preferences and re-install using the driver from the Epson Support webpage.

Having followed the above: my system is now working as it should.

PH K5400 DTN Borderless Printing Issue

Hi
It seams that no matter how I try I cannot get bordless printing to work correctly. Just trying an A5 document set to print booklet style in publisher with no border. What I get is an enlarged copy of what I need with all the edges cropped for some reason.
Please help as I really need to sort this.

I have an Epson R2400 and I can not find the driver for borderless printing

I have two Epson printers; I added the first, a R200 using the Printer Utility and in the add printer screen it asked me what page setup I wanted. I chose ALL and it gives me the ability to print borderless prints. I then added the R2400 using he Printer Utility but the "page setup" is grayed out and I do not have a borderless print option o this printer.
I have tried deleting the R2400 from the list of printers and adding it again without success.
I am using the drivers that came on the CD-ROM with the printer.
Has anyone had a similar experience with the R2400 borderless print issue and might anyone have an answer?
Thank you.

Hi: Please click on the device in the device manager. Then click on the details tab. Post the top string of characters you see. Those will identify the type and model of the missing device and I can send you the link to the drivers. It is either your AMT driver, TPM driver or IMEI driver. In the meantime, install the chipset driver and reboot if you have not done so already. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=5037900&prodNameId=5037902&swEnvOID=1093&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=vc-88640-1 Paul

Borderless printing, Aperture=Fail?

Howdy!
The short of it- Nothing I shoot (Canon EOS 7D), regardless of the settings I choose in Aperture, will print borderless.
I can import an image to the Desktop, pull it into iPhoto and print borderless 13x19 prints without a 2nd thought.
I drop the same file into Adobe's software (supplied with the Pixma Pro 9500 MKII), order up a borderless print and "voila!", a borderless print spits out.
I import the very same file into Aperture 3.1.3, request a borderless print- And get 1/4 inch borders.
This ought not be rocket science. The latest Canon drivers (as of 7Oct2011, date this was posted) are installed, proper paper size is selected, margins are, across the board, set to 0.00" and Border:None chosen from the Page Layout dialog.
I'll ask about Apertures (numerous! numerous!) crashes later, but this is my current frustration.
Bone stock iMac i5, 4GB Apple installed RAM, 500GB free space, freshly initialized drive, 10.7.1, all Software Updates (as of 7Oct2011, date this was posted) installed, and no other software not included with the Mac.
Is borderless printing, regardless of Aperture's dialog boxes, impossible?
Thanks!

Glen,
There are two things called 'Boarders' when it comes to printing in Aperture.
There is a boarder that Aperture can place around an image. that is set in the Aperture print dialog here:
Then there is the boarder the printer places around an image. That can be set in a few places depending on your setup.
First in Aperture when you slect the paper size:
Your menu options most likely will be different but you should have something similar to allow you to select a borderless printout.
Finally in the printer dialog itself (which you get after selecting print in the Aperture dialog)
Here:
And here
Again your printer menu options might be dfferent depending n your printer and driver.
good luck

Photoshop CS6 Colour Management Printing issue

Hi,
We use Photoshop and 2 x Epson 9800 printers to print our images, we used to use CS4 and have recently upgraded to CS6.
We are having a problem with the “Colour Management” settings in the Printer Settings window. We choose for Photoshop to Manage Colours and select our ICC profile and Rendering Intent and Black Point. Our problem is that these settings reset each time we switch between our 2 printers back to “Photoshop Manages Colours” so we have keep selecting the same settings over and over again. This never happened on CS4.
How do we save these settings so that they do not reset each time we switch between printers.
I don’t think it has any relevance but we have our printer’s settings set to “No Colour Management” as the warning states.
Kind Regards
Steven

You possibly need to add the profiles for your printer first.
In LR select 'other' in the profile dropdown for the color managment. In the list check all the profiles you need for your printer.
When you select a printer profile in LR and let LR manage the colors make sure to turn off the color management in your printer driver settings.

Cannot make borderless prints on Epson

I am having real difficulty printing borderless prints from my iMac to my Epson Stylus Photo R390 (not sure if this model was released in the USA).
My main problem is that two edges have approx. 3mm of white space.
This is despite multiple attempts at calibrating the paper alignment from within Aperture's print settings.
I have installed the latest Drivers from Epson website.
I am using Aperture 2.1.
Can anyone help me - I am sick of wasting paper and ink?
Sam

Sam,
I am still working on a similar problem with one of my Epson printers. The newer Epson R280 (may be R290 outside the US) works just fine with borderless. The older SP 2200 does not. I have been in communication with Epson, but not yet resolved. For most printers the newest software referenced for Leopard is with EasyPrint, but with this old 2200 the driver referenced is still not nearly as recently released as the EasyPrint frame work. The reply I got back from Epson was not satisfactory because it ignored the fact I am connected to my 2200 via Firewire and not USB, and all reference in the reply was to USB connection. Despite doubting the usefulness of the reply, I will have to move my 2200 much closer to the computer to try connecting with USB, and I simply have not tried it, since I doubt it will help.
My issues with borderless on the SP 2200 are also present when printing borderless from Photoshop CS3 and from Pages. Thus it seems more a problem with Leopard than with Aperture.
Sorry to not be more helpful or hopeful, but I think drivers for some printers are not fully tuned to printing in Leopard.
