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, 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

  • I had the free version and the advertisement said I could upgrade to the PDF-Print for $29.95 but when I went to order they charged me $39.95. Did I just get ripped off for $10.00?

    I just purchased PDF-Print but did not pay the $29.95 as per the advertisement. I had to pay $39.95.  Did I just get ripped off for $10?

    Wrong forum (and software company). Here you have an Adobe Acrobat forum. So Acrobat is the application and Adobe is the company.
    Be well...

  • C4580 Borderless Printing on Plain Paper?

    I want to do borderless printing on a plain piece of letter size (8.5 x 11 in) paper. When I select borderless though the HP software tells me I can only do this with photo paper which I don't want because it just wastes ink. I'm printing on normal paper so is it possible to print borderless on normal paper?
    Running Win7.
    Thanks.

  • A3 missing feature: calibration of paper edges for borderless printing

    This question was posted elsewhere by someone else, but never answered, so I'm trying again...
    In A2 it was possible to print a "calibration" sheet from within the print dialogue box, and then enter numbers corresponding to visual alignment of the paper edges. This was necessary (for me at least, using Canon inkjet printers) to make accurate borderless prints (i.e. having no ink overrun or undesired borders) by taking into account printer specific paper alignment variations. I searched everywhere for this in A3 and could not find it, so I guess the feature was removed?
    Does anyone know a workaround?

    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 on non HP paper

    Hi everyone,
    i got an issue with my HP Photosmart Pro B9180 and 10.5.2. It´s not possible to print borderless on papers witch require the icc of HP Premium paper.
    I need to print on a non HP Paper but with the profile of HP Premium paper. When borderless printing is activated the dialog-box switches back to HP Advanced Paper.
    The HP Support said, i´ve to take another profile. But there is no other profile than the icc of HP Premium to match the color.
    I´ve got the latest Apple and HP updates but it still doesn´t work.
    Any ideas?
    cheers,
    Flo

    This is very interesting. What is the width ( from the short edge of the paper) of the graphics? What is the prominent color of the graphic? What is the size, est. weight  and type of the christmas paper?

  • When I print the paper gets jammed.

    When I print the paper gets jammed. 

    It's always helpful if you mention the model number of the printer.
    In general, jams are caused by dirty print rollers, and mis-aligned paper guides.
    Best to check your manual for a faster answer.

  • 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!!

  • 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.

  • D7263. Wrong printout colors under Vista/Wron​g borderless printing.

        Getting dull colors while printing under Windows Vista from Print Manager or any application (Photoshop CS3). Colors are as expected (ok) while I print those photos under XP virtual machine (from under Vista Ultimate).
        Another problem is stupid results with borderless printing.Though I prepare dimension of the photo to match paper size (lets say 4x6inch x 600dpi), using borderless printing option, I always get printouts cutted  about 0,2 inch on EVERY side.
        I got strange result from HP online consulting in July or August: "We do not have correct driver for Windows Vista yes. That's why you have those problems. We expect new driver SOON."
        As the latest version of the Vista driver is 10.0 (02/2008) and I use it, I do not know how to use my Photosmart for photo printing under Vista...
        Any  suggestions?

  • Borderless printing - trailing white edge

    I've far more experience printing from PCs than Macs (used to use QImage on those), and am well aware of issues like overspray/borderless extension settings to rpoduce borderless prints.
    Anyhow I cannot get a 6x4" borderless print to print without as trailing white edge from iPhoto - not sure if this is because there's no page setup menu option.
    When you click print, the first screen shows the photo filling the 'canvas', but if I print there's a 7mm trailing white edge.
    This white edge is also evident if I hit preview rather than printing straight off.
    I can print the photo from Preview/Lightroom with no problems with whta seem to me to be identical settings.
    Printer is a Canon iP5000.
    I don't think iPhoto is centering the image properly on the page as an equal amount of photo is chopped off the top.
    There's at least 1 other thread but no solution on that.
    I'll try the other printers to see if I have problems with those too.
    AC

    Did you ever get a solution to your problem? I was looking into another issue and saw your post. I use a Canon i850 printer and in the print preview window I get a white sliver at the top and right of the image. However, it does not print that way.
    Have you tried going to the Advance print menus and under the Paper Handling-Destination Paper Size menu section checked the radio button "Scale to fit paper size:"?
    Do you Twango?

  • J4540 "Borderless Printing Error"

    I'm attempting to print a booklet, side-fold brochure.  My paper size setting is Borderless 8.5X11.  I've printed this brochure many times before using the exact same settings with no problems.  However, when I tried to print today, I had only a black ink cartridge installed; I got an error message reading "Borderless Printing Error: Borderless printing cannot occur with only the Black Ink Cartridge installed. To print a Borderless Photo, install either a tri-color print cartridge, or a photo print cartridge."
    Even though the brochure I'm printing is black & white (and it was set on "print in grayscale"), I did have a new Officejet 901 Tri-Color Ink Cartridge handy. So I installed it and received a message that the new cartridge had been detected.  Then I scanned the sheet to align cartridges.  The printer said something like "Installation successful".  However, everytime I try to print this brochure page, I still get the same error message:  "Borderless Printing Error: Borderless printing cannot occur with only the Black Ink Cartridge installed. To print a Borderless Photo, install either a tri-color print cartridge, or a photo print cartridge."        
    I tried re-starting, unplugging, etc., but I can't get it to print -- even though I'm using the same settings I have before. I went online and tried printing a couple of color pages and it printed them out just fine -- so the color cartridge is working. Not sure why I keep getting this message.
    I'm no expert on this stuff, and any help/advice would be appreciated.  Thanks a bunch,
    Jason 

    I wish I could help you, and I'm unhappy to see that you put this message up in April and have no response yet.
    I too get this "cannot print" message - not that the cartridge is missing, but that I cannot do borderless printing with ONLY the black cartridge. I have the color cartridge installed, I've done prints of the same pages before, and I cannot seem to get the printer (HP Photosmart C4780 wireless) printer to work when that message comes up. I'd love to get some help from HP.
         Some things I've tried. On my iMac I shut down all applications that are not necessary, and relaunch my finder. I think that clears out its brain a little. Then I'll try to print again (It just worked - same exact page).
         Also, sometimes I open the HP Utility and ask it to print a test page. That also seems to clear it's brain. After that it worked also.
        I think there's a sometimes "glitch" in the program. Cleaning things out as much as possible, and starting over again seem to help.  GOOD LUCK!

  • Borderless Printing Help

    I really need some borderless printing help. I finally figured out with my printer, that the bottom margin is ridiculously offset so I need to use borderless printing to prevent the bottom footer from being cut off (HP 2610 printer, margins being read are .07"-top, .13"-right&left, .56"-bottom).
    I know there is a way to choose borderless from the page setup screen. And I tried looking in the system preferences to see if I could choose borderless as the default but there doesn't seem to be a way as far as I can see.
    Does anybody know if there is a way to override the settings and make the borderless 8.5x11 the default paper size instead of the standard US letter?
    BTW I am looking to do this on a system-wide basis since multiple programs have this problem, but if anyone knows of ways to do this specifically in Pages or Word that would be helpful too.

    Got it to work in MS Word 2004. Any idea of how to get it to save in Pages 2? I choose to Save As Default, but it keeps reverting back when I open a new document.

  • 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 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
