Borderless 4 x 6 Prints

I cannot print borderless 4 x 6 prints. I get a small border all around print. My version is 6.0.6 and my husband has 6.0.5 on his laptop and he can print borderless prints. He has an option under 4 x 6 borderless that says "sheet feeder-borderless" and when he uses this feature the prints are borderless. I don't have this feature. Can anyone tell me what I can do to print borderless 4 x 6 prints without the border with my version?
Thanks

Gail:
Are you using an Epson printer? If so then here's what the Printer Setup should look like when adding the borderless printer driver and here's what you should get in the Printer Setup window.
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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How Do I BORDERLESS PRINT on Epson RX500 in 10.4.7?

Hello,
When I set up my Epson RX500 All-In-One printer/scanner I was using 10.3 Panther.
The Print Setup Utility looked just like it does in the setup guide that comes with the unit.
I never used Borderless Printing but in the "Printer List" it showed Stylus Photo RX500 and Stylus Photo RX500(Sheet Feeder - Borderless).
Now a year later (after upgrading to 10.4.7) I want to do some borderless printing with 4x6 and 5x7 photo paper but the "Stylus Photo RX500(Sheet Feeder - Borderless)" listing is not there anymore.
Also the Printer Setup Utility has changed. The screens aren't like they were in 10.3 (where I select EPSON USB from a pull-down menu, etc).
I went to the Epson Website to download new drivers but they only have
TWAIN Driver and EPSON Scan Utility v2.65A for Macintosh OS X (v10.2.x - 10.3.x)
OR
Printer Driver v3.0aAs for Intel-based Macs with OS X (v10.4.4 or later). There isn't one for PowerPC 10.4.
I CAN print a supposed 4x6 borderless print using Page Setup and "4x6 Borderless" setting for Paper Size but it doesn't come out borderless -- it has borders. There is a 5x7 setting but it doesn't say borderless.
Any help with this problem? I really would like to see the "Sheet Feeder - Borderless" in my Printer List again and do some true bordeless printing!
Thanks!!
PowerMac FW800 (G4), iMac G4 800 SuperDrive Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Thank you so much that was a big help.
After you do that, though, you have to click on the Page Setup drop down menu and select Borderless Sheet Feeder instead of Standard from the list -- that's the part I wasn't doing. It defaults to "Standard", whatever that is, and doesn't make the Borderless Printing available if you don't change it.
After that, though, I couldn't get the border even when I wanted one (which I do sometimes) using the RX500 regular setting (NOT borderless) -- it's makes about a 1/10" border instead of a 1/2" one.
FWIW I found that if you then delete Borderless Sheet Feeder (that I tried so hard to get!) from the Printer List and re-start the computer you will then have true border printing again! Re-install Borderless driver to get true borderless again (ugh). I guess I'll have to do that because sometimes I want borderless and other times I don't.
Thanks!!

HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a Print Cancelled when printing borderless A4

Hi
We have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a that normally works very well. We need to print a brochure in full colour on A4 borderless and the printer starts printing and then cancels the job itself after printing about a fifth of the page. I have tried all different printing options and it works fine if there is a print margin but will not work for borderless. This applies to printing from all different applications (Microsoft and Adobe).
We urgently need to print the brochure so a speedy resolution would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.

I am having a similar problem printing a two-sided 3-fold brochure in full color. The first side prints normally, but the second side prints two fo the three panels and then printing cancels on the third. I am printing from a Windows 7 laptop over a Wifi connection onto an HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless printer. A solution would be much appreciated!

Borderless Printing Problem

Windows XP Pro, Indesign CS3, HP K8600 Deskjet Pro Printer. I am trying to print a borderless document. Printer does have borderless feature. I cannot get the document centered. A quarter inch white border appears on the right side of the document and a half inch border appears on the bottom. . Settings I am using in the print setup are as follows: Paper size "Borderless 8.5X11"; Page position "Centered"; also tried Page position "Upper Left"; Printing Shortcuts "Borderless Printing"; Under Features tab "Borderless 8.5X1", "Print Actual Size" and check "Bordrless". Document will print borderless and centered in HP Photosmart application but not in Indesign so I don't think it's a printer problem.

It's the top item on the Paper Size menu-drop...
I think that's your only way out because "borderless" printing is essentially unsupported by InDesign and sort of defies its logic.

Borderless printing photos

I have an HP Deskjet 1220Cxi, Windows XP Home
I do not print pictures much but I have tried recently to get borderless printing on 4x6 HP Premium Photo paper. However, I cannot figure out how to get the picture on the whole paper without borders. I researched on the web and tried some printer settings but still cannot get borderless prints. I do not recall if the settings gave me an option for borderless prints. Can I get borderless on my printer? I would hate to have to take what I want printer to the Photo Development Store to get prints when I have a printer that makes great color prints except for the nuisance border.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Looking over the specifications located here, it does not seem that borderless is supported. A workaround could be to trim the borders from the photos but it is understandable that this may be less than preferred.
Best of Luck!

Printing borderless leaves white line at bottom of print

Hi,
being frustrated with the PS CS3 off center printing issue, I now try to print my pictures out of LR. But here, I have a problem printing borderless as well: Im am using an Epson 2400 on an IntelMac running OS 10.4.10.
E.g. when I want to print a borderless 4x6 print, already the LR preview indicates that there will be a white line on the bottom of the image. This is then confirmed when I print. Same for other print sizes. I set all margins to zero in LR, chose borderless in the printer driver... I tried to trick the software by creating a custom paper size, but so far, nothing helps.
Is this an LR flaw?? ( I am running LR 1.2)
Thanks for your ideas.
Anne

Hi,
I finally got a workaround, if someone is interested: I wrote myself the following instruction now:
Avoiding white line on bottom of LR borderless prints:
for 4x6 prints:
Page setup: choose 4x6 sheet feeder borderless
Create a custom paper size: 4.00x6.02 (6.01 does not work) with margin ON TOP of 0.01 in, save as "4x6 borderless"
In the printer driver menu choose "Paper Handling" from drop down menu. Click the Scale to fit paper size and choose the new custom size "4x6 borderless".
The expansion is set to maximum, but since this method worked, I have not tried to reduce the expansion in order to see what the effect is. (I have wasted already enough paper and ink)
The prints now don't have a line on the bottom anymore.
The white line on the bottom of the print preview in LR, however, is still visible.

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:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid= 14387&prodoid=28907797&infoType=Downloads&platform=Macintosh
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.

Printing borderless prints from 2540 all i one

is it possible with a 2540 printer to print colour borderless prints? I have HP original 6x4ins Premium plus paper borderless and can print ok. But I get a 15mm gap at the end of a landscape print and at the lower edge of a portrait print.
I have, as far as I can see, set all settings ok.
Any suggestions/answers that will explain how, if it is possible, I can lose the 15mm from my prints will be very helpful.
Regards
PCTwit

Hi,
I afraid the Deskjet 2540 does not support Borderless Printing as listed within its specifications below:
http://store.hp.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/PDPStdView?catalogId=10051&urlLangId=-1&langId=-1&prod...
The minimum bottom margins for the product are 15mm as you may find the Print Margins listed within the Paper-handling specifications below:

Cannot print borderless printing from illustrator - prints fine from photoshop. I've updated canon drivers but didn't help.

After buying a new imac and upgrading to lion, then upgrading to illustrator I cannot print borderless on my canon printer. It prints borderless fine from photoshop. I have installed the new drivers from canon through apple but that didn't help. It shows borderless in the print window but continues to leave a border when printing. Any suggestions?

Stumped on printing borderless letterhead.

I have an HP C309a printer that supports borderless 8.5 x 11" printing. It prints photos fine. I have my company letterhead set up in pages, but cannot print it correctly.
if i print normal (no borderless option in print dialog) everything prints correctly, but there is a white border around the page (approx 1/4 inch) which is expected.
if i print the same page borderless, it prints to the edge of the page, but it seems to do so by just expanding (magnifying) the page. so the footer (Page 1 of 1) is now flush against the bottom of the paper, instead of 1/4" up from the bottom where is should be.
suggestions or ideas?
thanks in advance!
--Chad

I think you have margins set in *Page Setup…* for your paper size.
Simply zero the margins.

C5180 Printing from IPhoto 4X6 Borderless

I am having a problem with my HP C5180 trying to print 4X6 borderless. My printer will not go to the photopaper 4X6 paper tray. The printer continues to think that it is to print a 4 X 6 image on regular paper refusing to use the photo paper tray. I have selected everything correctly but no go. I downloaded the latest from HP and if I use their Photo Printer software and print from there, it works but prints the image a little off to one side. If I just print to the 4X6 photo paper using the internal test image and not acess it from my mac it will print just fine. This driver and software are still beta from HP. Anyone else?

Did not see the earlier posts .Thanks

Borderless Printing US Letter: Doc Margin Question

Hi everyone,
I have a quick question about printing using HP Photosmart 5510 which offers borderless printing. I have inDesign CS 5 and using Mac OS X Lion.
I'm trying to print a fllyer. After I select my document type to US Letter in inDesign, i placed my jpg flyer (8.5x11) in the document and it fit snug. However, when I selected borderless US letter print, the flyer came out different than what was in inDesign. It seems like inDesign automatically "cropped" the flyer...
Here is what i mean (1st pic is inDesign, 2nd pic is the actual printed flyer). You can see how it's "cropped." The word Naruko should be a few milimeters away from the border, yet when it's printed, it actually got cut off. What's causing this?

I don't have any experience with printers that offer borderless printing, but the thing they have to get around is the gripper margin. In offset printing, the gripper pulls the paper through the press, so you can't have image that goes all the way to the edge of the page on the lead edge. That's why people who need borderless printing on press will use a larger page with crops, and bleed the image into the crop area, so that the cutter can cut through bleed, and if the trim is off by a bit, it will still look like it was printed to the edge.
I know that office printers also have the gripper margin limitation, so I'm not exactly sure how borderless printing is accomplished. Maybe the lead edge is pushed through and grabbed after it's imaged, but that's just a guess. From what I can see in your second image, it looks like the image was placed further down the page than you had intended, which is another limitation to office printers—the fact that there is some amount of drift between where the image is supposed to print and where it actually does. If you pick something on the page and measure from the top edge to it, does it measure the same as it does in InDesign? If it's also a bit lower, then I think you are dealing with the image drifting a bit. If the top is where it should be, I'd double-check that the paper size and the document size aren't off by a bit.

Set default printer in Photoshop CS4

I'm a long-time Photoshop user (since Photoshop 3), upgraded to CS4 many months ago, and just updated my printer. It is one of these all-in-one jobs that prints, copies, and faxes. It has two printer device drivers: one for normal printing and one for the fax function. The problem is (I think) that it seems to default in Photoshop to the fax function. Therefore, when I try to print out a 4x6 photo @ 200ppi, it still defaults to 8 1/2 x 11 format (that you would get with a fax machine).
In CS4, from the main menu, File > Print. In the pop-up it says 8.5 ins x 11in. I checked [X] Scale to fit Media, and now it says print resolution 109ppi (yikes ... I wanted 200ppi). "Bounding Box" was checked as a default, so I left it checked (what is that, anyway)? The 8.5 x 11 does not go away. Clicked [Print].
A Print menu pops up. It says, for some strange reason, HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g Series fax ... yikes ... in last screen it didn't say fax, so I selected the 8500 option without fax (presume that is the printer). Clecked Preferences, and got "Printing Preferences" popup. My default printing shortcut was selected (which is for mornal B&W draft-quality text) -- so I checked Photo Printing-Borderles. Paper size defaluted to Borderless 4x6in, HP Advanced Photo Papers, Best Quality, grayscale off, and changed orientation from landscape to Portrait. Under "Features" Basic Options were HP Advanced Photo Papers, Best Quality, Portrait (instead of Landscape) ... paper size was set to Borderless 4x6in. Print in Color. Clicked OK. That closed the Popup and returned me to the Print panel. Clicked "Print"
Got a 1.25" wide by 2" high print ... NOT a 4x6.
As I dig down into the menus, it appears to be initially defaulting to the "FAX" drivers for CS4, not the printer drivers. That's probably why it keeps coming up 8 1/2 x 11 at 109ppi.
What did I do wrong?
Thanks !!

Photoshop CS4 uses an old (introduced in Win16?) printing API that limits the printer name length to 30 or 31 characters. With your printer name, that gets you halfway into "Series" and anything past that will be ignored.
The simple solution is to rename your printer to something shorter. Go into the control panel, printers and faxes, and right-click on the printer and choose "Rename" and rename the printer. That should resolve the problem.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Canon printer problem!!

Use Photoshop CS6 to edit and print (try to print) to a new Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer. Photoshop is up to date and the Mac runs OS 10.8.5 - Canon printer driver is current at ver. 11.7.1.
When I print from Photoshop to the Pro-100 (let's say a 4X6 landscape snapshot to 4X6 borderless paper) the printer starts up and moves the paper out about 4 inches and then prints the
first two inches of the image, stops and ejects the paper!. I've tried different versions of printer the printer driver and made sure every things is up to date. However, I can print from MS Word,
Nikon Capture NX2, or Canon's own Print Studio Pro and it works fine. Canon is no help because if it works OK with their Print Studio Pro then it's not their issue - I tend to agree with them.
The same thing happens print from Photoshop to 5X7 or 8X10 paper - it gets ejected so far and then only prints part of the image. I've searched the Internet and posted in Forums but can't find
where any one would have the same problem. What I'm hoping for here is someone at from Adobe who's knows Photoshop tech stuff will post here with suggestion because there is no more
phone support for Photoshop CS6. I'd like to really keep this printer and get Photoshop to work with it but if I can't I'm going to offer it up free to a good home! JM Davis

Thanks for your answer, indeed this fixed the problem. Quite stupid I did not see this myself
