Avoiding borderless printing cropping both directions

Since day one, I’ve been having problems printing exactly what I want to print when I print borderless. The following image shows the full photograph and, within the lighter rectangle, what came out when I printed it from Lightroom in borderless mode:
I expected to loose somewhat at the top and bottom, as the photograph is taller than the target paper (5×7 in this case), but I certainly did not expect to loose left or right. How can I tell Lr to simply crop at the top and bottom, but leave the sides as they are ?
Configuration used: Lr 2.n / HP C5280 or Canon Pro9500 / 5x7 or A4

I printed it from Lightroom in borderless mode:
That's expected. Borderless printing is always done by bleeding a portion of the image over the edge to make sure you register the paper completely. This amount is relatively large for smaller prints because the tolerance (in inches) is the same. The exact amount can usually be controlled in the printer driver. Lightroom has little to do with it

  • Print a pdf directly to a printer to avoid repeated ripping of the same image

    Hi,
    I have created a 3.000 pages document from inDesign heaving its page the same color image as background and variable data. The document exported as pdf. Because of this method the file has very little size (about 3MB). The acrobat print engine take the image once and the resulted pdf does not using a copy in every page but share it (very cool).
    The problem that I have is that when I print this pdf using the windows postscript drivers of my industrial printer (Xerox) then it takes very long time to ripp. I think that even if the pdf has only once the image the windows drivers does not understand this and send the image with every page.
    I discussed this with someone and told me to print the pdf directly to the printer without the interference of printer's driver. As an example he mentioned that when we have a postscript file we do the same to print it (otherwise the postscript code will be printed) using a command line like lpr and put as an argument the IP of the printer (or using some tools for this like the free PrintFile but tghis is only for postscript files).
    Could someone explain to me what he meant? And how is the syntax of the lpr?
    Thanks in advance

    Do you mean that the information for the label is huge on a letter or A4 page and you want to shrink it to the size of the label, or do you have a small region that you want to print to the label? Your work flow is not coming through at all and it is hard to help as a result.
    If you have a label size print on a large page, then crop the page to the label print. Then go to the print menu, select the label paper, set shrink to fit, and print. At least I think that is what you are looking for.

  • Borderless printing from Windows 7 64 to a shared printer on XP Pro system.

    I recently bought a new dv7 HP laptop with Windows 7 64 bit to replace a Dell laptop running XP.  The XP laptop and other XP systems can print to my HP PSC2410 connected to a XP pro system fine.  The XP systems can print both 8x10, 5x6 or 4x6 borderlessly fine.  However, the new HP laptop with Windows 7 does NOT even have the option of 4x6 or 5x7size paper!  If I connect the printer directly to the win7 system, that works, but when I print to the same printer via the XP pro "shared printer", most of the paper size options go away.
    I found a post that shows how to present a 4x6 paper size option to the win7 system which now works, but borderless printing to the 4x6 paper doesn't work.  The 4x6 photos all print with thin white borders.  Please tell me I don't have to replace my PSC2410 printer in order to print from my new windows 7 system (borderlessly) via a network!

  • 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.

  • Error when printing a PDF direct from SAP archive

    Hi together,
    I try to print a PDF direct from SAP archive and I got the error ""C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\reader\AcroRd.exe" /p /h" not found. In the internet I found several topics which describe this way to print a PDF without open the Acrobat Reader.
    The customizing for document management (Local application) seems o.k. If I remove in the registry the parameters /h /p for print, Acrobat Reader will open and show the document if I use the print button in SAP.
    Have anybody an idea what the reason is?
    Thank you.
    Regards
    Thomas

    The rundll32 error seems to have disappeared.  Until this morning I had both this error and the rundll32.  All other types of docs open fine.  This one will open if saved to the desktop first, but not from Outlook.

    On the printer the firmware datecode shows 20121026, Also the ePrint app which I am using is latest and upto date.
    Please let me know how to print the borderless print in A4 sheet.
    Regards,
    Jaya

    Hello revlib,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    Turning off the Wireless Direct on the LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw should have disabled the SSID from broadcasting. Since disabling from the front display did not resolve, let us try from the Embedded Web Server (EWS).
    To access the EWS you need to enter the I.P address for the M251nw into the address bar of your web browser. The I.P address can be collected by touching Setup ()> Reports> Network Summary.
    Once in the EWS, click Network> Wireless Direct Setup> select Off and Apply.
    Let me know if this has help

  • Printing PDF report directly to printer, not using orarrp utility

    The orarrp utility works only with Windows machines and it
    requires installation on both the client machines and servers to
    support. We need a more general solution.
    Adobe has a java application/applet/javabean (and support
    classes) to view PDF, and it is easy to write a java driver
    which can be used in place of the orarrp utility. However,
    Adobe's Java Viewer is extremely slow, does not produce quality
    output, and is explicitly not supported by Adobe.
    My question then relates to Reports. When the Report server
    returns a PDF in the Previewer, I'm expecting the JINITIATOR,
    used by Forms, is also used to support the Report frame and
    functionality, including eventual printing. If this is the case,
    is there not a set of classes, downloaded with Jinitiator, which
    support the fonts, and printing of PDF to locally attached
    printers?
    And if so, shouldn't we, in Java, be able to make use of these
    classes and their APIs to print PDF files directly to locally
    attached printers without the need for Previewing first?

    within a forms trigger:
    1. generate the report
    2. copy from iAS to local
    like: webutil_file_transfer.url_to_client()
    3. print.exe /d:printer filename (for windows OS)

  • How do I print to both sides of paper for greeting card on Brother Printer

    I did not find the answer on the forum. I have iLife 09 and this Brother MFC-790CW printer. I do not see any automatic setting for printing on both sides. I am using a iPhoto greeting card template and it looks OK with a page one for the front and a page two for the back.
    Maybe the only way is to print out all the fronts pages (20) and then put the paper back in and print all the pages 2 (the text inside of the card). That seems like it would be faster than other ways, except automatic.
    Obviously I should have done this a month ago and sent the project to Apple, but now I have no more time. Ii have the right paper for the one fold cards and plenty of ink

    You need to have an image editor that supports layers. If you do follow the directions in these tutorials:
    #8 - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card
    #8a - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card to Standard Stock Sizes
    Here are some editors that support layers:
    Some Image Editors that support layers:
    Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac - $79
    GraphicConverter - $45
    Rainbow Painter - $30
    Acorn - $50
    Pixelmator - $60
    Seashore - Free
    Portraits and Prints - Free
    GIMP for Mac - Free
    You might be able to use Pages instead of an image editor.

  • Our HP laserjet , model P2050 , does not print on both sides even though the " auto rotate " box is

    checked.  Is there someway to cause the printer to print on both sides?  ( There is another printer box that  comes up in other  instances and it has a "Preferance" box which , when clicked on, gives a different way to choose  two-sided printing, and that one works to cause the printer to do as wanted.)
    The  box that shows " auto rotate' doesn't have a print preview.

  • 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 in Aperture 2

    I just upgraded to Aperture 2.0 and I can no longer make borderless prints on my Canon Pixma Pro9500. I ran the "Printer Calibration" wizard that is supposed to center the image but it made no difference. Here is my workflow using 8x10 paper.
    Edit Image
    Crop to 8x10 proportions
    Select "8x10 borderless" as media size in printer dialog box
    Select "Fill Page" under "Scale to..." menu
    Move "Border Width" slider to "0"
    Print
    I get a small border all the way around the image, the same image will print fine from PS CS3 or Lightroom.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    JB,
    The trick to solving this is making an adjustment within the "Printer Settings" from the Aperture print dialogue box. This is the same place where you select paper type and print quality. In the drop down menus select "Borderless Printing." Here you can adjust the amount of extension on your borderless prints. If I have the slider all the way to the left, to "min", I get the same very slight white border all the way around the edge of my prints with either my iP8500 or iP6700D. Moving the slider one step to the right gets rid of the white border and gives me a true borderless print.
    Now, the catch is I lose just a bit of the image on the bottom and top. Not much, but a a few pixels. I've learned to crop a little bit wider to accommodate. I hope this helps with your issue.

  • Borderless printing with iPhoto/Canon iP8600?

    Does anyone know if it is possible to print borderless photos with iPhoto? I have a new Canon iP8600 that features borderless printing, but I've not been able to get it to work with iPhoto. The paper options for borderless printing are there, but the borderless popup dialog brings up a single greyed out option.
    Any ideas from someone who has this printer (or the 8500)?

    The post must have expired. Here's a step by step process that works fine with my Canon i850 and Epson R200. It's pretty generic.
    <blockquote?<i>Steps for printing 4 x 6 prints from iPhoto:
    1 - crop the photo to 4 x 6 beforehand in iPhoto.
    2 - in Page Setup select your printer, proper page orientation and paper size as 4x6 or 4x6 borderless
    3 - click once on the picture you want to print to make sure it's selected.
    4 - now click on the Print button in iPhoto.
    5 - in the iPhoto print window, select your printer again, select Style = "Standard Prints", Size= 4x6 and click on One photo per page.
    6 - click on the Print button.</block

  • Borderless printing - paper getting ripped!

    So I'm on the latest version of Mavericks, and I have tried printing from Pages AND Preview, using the drivers of AirPrint AND my printer directly from the Epson website for Mavericks. No matter what I do, borderless printing does not work. I have a 8 1/2 x 11 paper I am trying to print to, and when it prints, the rollers hit the edge of the paper and actually tear it, everytime. I have tried absolutely everything. This is with photo glossy paper. What am I missing here?!

    It could be; photo paper tends to be thicker and/or may have a slight curl to it that's catching the print head as it goes by.
    Still, most people with photo-capable printers do tend to print borderless, so if it were a widespread issue I think the topic would be more common here.

  • Borderless printing problems

    I never did a lot of printing with previous versions of iPhoto but I'm now experimenting with the latest iPhoto. Borderless printing is giving me a headache because it crops the edges my photos. I recently restored an old photo from WWI and wanted a nice 6x4 print but there is important content at the edged of the photo and it's being cropped off by iPhoto.
    Going via the Advanced printing menu I can get a decent non-cropped print by adjusting the Amount of Extension slider for Borderless Printing but I had issues with the colour reproduction not being quite what I wanted. I faffed about with colour profiles and various settings until I decided to try the iPhoto print Presets which surprisingly produced the best results but at the expense of a badly cropped image. It seems that the image is always cropped even if I choose a border option instead of going for Borderless.
    Am I missing something?
    The image is 6x4 which is the size I'm trying to print and if you look at the image here: http://flickr.com/photos/ajk/1108202517/ you can see why I don't want it cropped. For photos I take myself there will be more margin for error/cropping but I'd like to get this right if possible. Maybe I'll just have to keep playing with advanced settings but it would simplify things a lot if I could just use iPhotos own settings.
    Thanks in advance for any tips/help.

    Flynn:
    I copied the photo from your site and brought it into iPhoto. I see what you mean about losing some of the arm of the person on the left. Even if you select non borderless some of the photo gets cropped. That's worth reporting via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
    What you will need do to get exactly what you want is to print from PE4. You can control the process much better. No cutting of the edges.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
