Borderless printing from PSE 7 Editor

Having some trouble printing borderless 4x6 images from the Editor in PSE 7, (I prefer printing from the Editor over the Organizer due to its higher quality output). I've tried a myriad of different settings from the Elements print dialogue window and am unable to consistently print images without some border being present, either just on one side, or on a top and side together. Sometimes I can successfully print without the borders, but then when using the same settings on another image, I'm frustrated to see some type of border return. The image in the print preview window will also vary from one image to the next, sometimes with borders, and sometimes without, however even when no borders are present in the preview, they'll still be there sometimes in the print. Never had a problem like this with Elements 4; using an Epson R1900, with printer driver set to borderless. If anyone else has encountered this, or has suggestions on what to do, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks!

Yes seems this is a bug. I will try using printing in PSE 8.0 when it will be released.

Printing from PSE8 Editor

Can anyone help me with a problem I have printing from PSE 8 Editor.
I keep my unedited photos in PSE8 Organiser. When I am trying to select the best photos from a group of, say, ten photos for printing I open all ten in PSE8 Editor. I now edit each photo in the Editor and examine them to see which are the best ones and I will wish to do a trial print of each of those. This is where I hit the problem.
If I select one of the ten photos open in Editor and try to print it I will get a strip down the left side of the Editor screen showing all ten photos. If I want to print just the selected one of the ten I have to remove the other nine from this list or all ten will be printed. If the photos are all very similar it is difficult to select visually which ones to remove from the list because the list does not show their names.
What I would like is to:
a) eliminate this list feature altogether so that only the photo I have as the selected image in Editor is printed, or
b) have the list show only those photos I have explicitly selected for printing from the ten I have open in the Editor, or
c) have the list show the file names so that I can at least identify the ones I don't want to print in this instance so that I can remove them from the list.
I explained all this previously to Adobe but I don't seem to be understood. To illustrate the issue please try this. Open ten similar photos in Editor. Select one of those ten and select print. You will get a strip showing all ten down the left of your screen. If you just continue with the printing all ten will be printed. To print just the one you want you will have to identify and remove the other nine photos from the list. Having done all that and printed that one photo now select another of the ten photos in Editor and again select print. You will again get a list of all ten photos open in the Editor and you will again have to identify and remove from the list the other nine. Repeat this for a few more photos and you will be (like me) screaming with fury at the stupid thing. So, am I doing something stupid or is there a way to get around this behaviour?

I have PEv.8, and below the work space in Editor, there is the project bin. On the left there is the tool box, configurable as one column or two columns.
Multiple open files are represented in the project bin as thumbnails. There are 2 dropdown boxes: (1) to show open files or files from organizer (2) re bin files. Which options are ticked on your machine?
Please post a print screen representing what you see.

Failure to print from PSE 9.0 on MAC to Epson XP-800

I cannot print photographic images with my desktop MAC (OS X10.8.4) from Photoshop Elements 9.0 to my new Epson XP-800 printer. Printing is not a problem with Word text or images from iPhoto- it is only with PSE that there is a problem. The problem persists even if I try using a cabled connection rather than WiFi. I have ensured latest software from Epson has been downloaded. This problem did not occur when using the same system with the previous printer (Epson Photo Stylus 1290).
Any suggestions for solving this rather than just a workaround of moving the edited PSE image back to iPhoto & printing from there (which admittedly does work but shouldn't be necessary).
Grateful for any help.
Stuart

Hi Barbara B
Thanks very much for this suggestion.
I followed this advice, both deletions and permission repairs. This did allow me to print from PSE for the first time - very pleased with this. Unfortunately the colour reproduction has now gone haywire (having been very good) and there are vertical lines on prints - this now applies to both PSE & iPhoto (the latter worked well before)
Any further suggestions? I feel we are close to cracking it but do not really understand what to try next. Please help if you can. Many thanks.

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!

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?

Problems printing from PSE 11 on Windows 8

I have not had a problem with printing until this week. I cropped an image 6 by 4, chose 6 by 4 paper, selected borderless and got a 1cm white border. The image did not fill the preview window, so it is not a border problem. I have to use the slider to enlarge the preview image. Why???

Of course!
I have been a PSE user since version 2 and have been through Epson and Canon A3 printers for the last 8 years.
The problem has only manifested itself in the past few days. The white space around the image is far too large to be a border that is obtained by choosing a border in the print options.
As you can see from my screenshot the preview is also wrong. The print mechanism merely reproduces what you see on the screen.

Why can I not print from text editor?

I am new to the mac & was trying to do up a text document. I went to text editor thinking that would work. I did it up all nice & can not print it. I just goes all funny. I know it is not my printer; can print other things fine. Can you please help?

If preview looks fine, that does suggest - though it doesn't prove, I don't think - the printer might be mucking things up. Do you have the latest Epson drivers?

Others here might have better advice.

Borderless printing from iPhoto

I have an Epson RX520 which has borderless capability but I can only get it to print borderless on one long edge and one short edge, the others have a small border even though I've specified 0.00 cm, borderless and crop and zoom in the print setup. The print preview shows it as being completely borderless but the same thing happens every time. I am trying to do some prints for an exhibition and the mounts I have have very little margin for error. It's driving me nuts! Can anybody help?

Did not see the earlier posts .Thanks

Printing from Editor in PSE 8 on Windows 7

When I try to print from the editor I get a message stating that I must install a printer first. My printers are installed. When I go to the organizer I can print without getting this message. How do I fix this problem?

On a MAC it does seem to stick on the last option you saved e.g. Jpeg if it was a Jpeg image.
For windows, this seems to work:
Find the file PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe using explorer (in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0 folder) right click on that file and choose Run As Administrator.
Go back to the editor, open an image, select Save for Web and choose jpeg; then save that file. The next time you run the editor and use the save for web command the jpeg type should hopefully stick as the default.

Printing on 7 x 10 paper from PSE 4

I have prepared a template in PSE 4 to print greeting cards on card stock that is 10x 7 inches in size. After printing and folding I have a finished card that is 5x7.
I have a Canon PIXMAi8500 printer. I set the paper size in the printer program and try to print from PSE4 Editor. The results show the printing off center as if program or printer thinks the paper being used is 8.5x11 rather than the smaller 7x10.
Any hints will be greatly appreciated.
Barbara

Barbara,
You would be printing from the Editor. I hope it works the same for you as
it does on my old Canon BJC-8200. I don't know if your printer does
borderless, in my case I allowed .25" on all sides, which means my image is
6.5x9.5". Go to >File >Print. You'll see the preview on 8.5x11 paper. Now
rotate your image as necessary. Click on >Page Setup, then on >Printer
>Properties (each in its own dialog box). In Properties click the Page
Setup tab and you will see a dropdown menu with various sizes. One of the
should be Custom. Clicking on it will bring up a dialog where you can enter
your actual size, 7x10". Now click OK several times until you get back to
first Print Preview and your image should be properly aligned on the 7x10
sheet. Now click Print.
If you are not sure and don't want to waste photo paper, you can select a
6.5x9.5 area and stroke it with 3 pixels and run that through the routine on
some regular paper.
HTH,
Juergen

Cannot print to an HP Officejet 5610 anything from PSE Version 10

Help! I'm using Adobe Photoshop Elements Version 10 and I cannot print anything either directly from it, or even anything created out of it to my HP Officejet 5610 series printer. I am not having the same issue that others have reported with the Fax Window coming up, nothing prints at all. It doesn't even go into the Print Queue. I have been discussing (on a forum) with HP and they have suggested using the Deskjet 990C driver. I tried that and still nothing happens. I can print to a Canon Pixma with no issue, it's definitely something with this printer/print driver. I tried renaming the printer to make it shorter, I have tried completely deleting and reinstalling the printer (using HP Cleanup utility), I have updated drivers, tried using the 5610 as well as the 450C and 990C.
This is happening directly out of PSE as well as anything I create and save - so making it a PDF, it won't print. Making it a JPG, it won't print. I can print PDF files not created in PSE with no issue. I can print JPGs not created by PSE with no issue.
Anyone have any other suggestions on things I can try?

Hi,
Can you try some experiments please - or tell us if you have tried them.
1) Load a new image (one that hasn't been saved before) into the editor and without saving it, try printing from the editor. It is important that PSE hasn't saved it.
2) Load any image into the editor and do a Save for Web (you may have to reduce the size) in JPG format and see if you can print that JPG either from PSE or another program.
Please let us know the results.

Color quality difference by printing from the Organizer vs the Editor

When a print the a photo from the Organizer I get a good quality print, one that closely represents the image on the computer screen. But when I print the identical print from the Editor mode, the colors are darker -- more black pigment in all of the colors and no where near as representitive of the image on the screen. How can I get the prints from the Editor mode to be more like the ones from the Organizer -- more like the images on the screen?......Jim

Organizer :
Image Space: sRGB IEC61933-2.1
Print Space : Same as Source (What is "Source"?)
This means that the Organizer is sending the photo to the printer without adjusting any of its colors (the default behavior).
Editor :
Color Handling : Printer Manages Color
Source Space : Same as in Organizer
Rendering Intent : Relative Colorimetric (What ever that is)
This means that the Editor is sending the photo to the printer without adjusting any of its colors. "Relative colorimetric" means that if there is a color in the photo that the printer isn't capable of printing, the printer will chose the nearest color. (This is the default behavior.)
So you've verified that the Organizer and Editor are using the default print settings. They have two different "print engines", but with a printer made in the last several years and photo in the sRGB color space, they would normally produce nearly identical results with these settings. What's your printer and how old is it?
My next suggestion is to download the most recent printer driver and install it (even if you already have the most recent one). This can reset the printer settings to their defaults.
If that doesn't work (and it likely won't), then you could consider configuring PSE to manage colors, rather than letting the printer manage colors. But getting that to work right often can involve a fair amount of effort, reading your printer's documentation to get the printer configured properly (it's different for each manufacturer and often for different models).

Why am I getting sharper printouts from Windows Photo Viewer than PSE 7? This was not always the case. has something in my settings changed? I have tried all obvious solutions but no change. How can i get the best image print outs from PSE?

I prefer to print from PSE as this allows me to set picture dimensions. Windows photo viewer does not give this flexibility. I am using the same PC, the same printer and the same print file, yet the outcome from each software option is significantly different. WPV is sharp and bright whereas PSE is softer. Can any one help me?

Printing quality differece between printing from Editor or from Organizer

I print a photo from the Organizer and get a very good match to the image on the screen. When I print the exact same photo from the Editor it is darker, more black pigment, not near as true to the screen as from the Organizer. How can I get a truer print from the Editor? Jim Rust

OK, this forum is for the full program, so ask in the Elements forum.
