Borderless printing problems - Aperture 2.1/Canon Pro9000 II

Problem: photos don't print borderless. I have selected the appropriate paper from the "paper size" dialog (in my case, "4x6 borderless"). Things used to behave nicely but something has changed after Snow Leopard. The "calibrate" settings do not solve the problem. The border appears only on two edges of the print and the calibrate settings can't move it back. Other software (Preview, Photoshop, etc.) print borderless without issue. Anyone else out there having a similar issue?
Aperture 2.1.4
OS 10.6.1
Canon Pro9000 II, CUPS driver 10.26.0.0
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

I also have struggled with the borderless printing problem. Tried calibration has some unpredictable results. Tried preview, pretty much the same problem. Spent much time, ink and paper to come up with a solution I can live with. I accidentally printed a borderless 4x6 that actually had a 1/8 inch white border all the way around, not the borderless print i had intended but one that i can live with until there is a SL fix or a Aperture fix... I am just waiting. This is just one of many print problems since installing SL.

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 Problems - C309g-m

I have developed a problem when trying to create borderless prints with my C309g-m All-In-One. Recently I have begun to see a margin on the right side and bottom of prints that are supposed to be borderless. When I first set up the printer, borderless printing was as expected. It seems that after an update (as best I recall) the borderless prints began to appear with the white stripes (between 0.1 and 0.2 inches) as noted above. The white stripes occur whether printing 4x6 (my normal print size) or 8.5x11. (the border stripes appear slightly bigger on this size).
The stripes appear whether i print from Qimage or Photoshop so they do not appear to be specific to the software used. Qimage shows a fixed border of 0.0017" on the right and bottom with 0's for the left and top. Any clues as to what might have happened and how I can "fix" it to once again print borderless.

Hi folks,
I understand you are all experiencing a white border on the right and bottom of your prints when printing borderless.
The first thing I would suggest is for you to do a copy of a borderless photo to test the hardware. If the hardware prints with no issue then the issue is related to the computer, possibly the settings or the driver.
If the issue persists please post back with the following information.
Operating system and version. Mac or Windows.
Program you are printing from.
Thanks, looking forward to hearing from you.

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 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.

D7160 Borderless Printing Problem

Suddenly my D7160 Photosmart printer is enlarging the printout, so that the sides on a borderless print are being trimmed.
The preview is perfect but not the printout!
This is happening in all applications.
I have downloaded the latest drivers for WinXP.
It is as if a setting is magnifying the printout to 105%
Please, any ideas?

It is hard to believe this post has had 97 views and no suggestions
Do none of you D7160 owners have this problem?

Borderless print problems from photoshop

I have recently bought an Epson L800 printer. When I print 'borderless' 4x6 prints using photoshop, I always get a border down the right hand side and bottom of the print. Also the picture is not 100% perfectly straight on the page. The pictures are already sized to 6x45 in photoshop so no scaling should be required.
I took the printer back to Epson, but they printed the same picture by going into Windows explorer and right clicking, and selecting 'preview'. They printed from there, setting the printer options to borderless (as I had for photoshop) and the picture printed perfectly with no borders. we tried again with photoshop and the border returned.
Can anyone help me please?

HELP!!!

OK, well, you're going to want to do yourself the favor of learning color-management.
LR is forcing a crash course in color-management on a lot of people.
Given that no one in their right mind could sit on these forums and advise every person separately (this is why books are written!), please buy and read Andrew Rodney's book on Color Management:

If you want to learn a little about the color problems that people have attributed to LR but is actually attributed to non-understanding of proper color-management, you can check out this thread, and my posts to it:

Finally, lots of people have been having trouble with printing in LR. Myself included. I haven't even solved my problem yet. But here's a thread where some people have solved their problems:

Borderless printing problem via LR4

When trying for borderless A4 prints there is always a small border on the top and right hand edge of the resulting print.
This only happens when using LR.
I am printing to a Kodak c310 printer.
Can anyone help?

When you want to print borderless you have to select a paper in your printer's dialog that is explicetely named "Boderless".
This paper selection tells your printer to print borderless. When you select a paper that is not named "borderless" your printer will always do a margin no matter what you specify in Lr.

Problems printing with PSE12 and Canon Pro9000 MII

There seems to be a problem with PSE 12 and the print function. Using my Canon Pro9000-Mark II the size is off. Set to 8 x 10 photo paper in either landscape or portrait, PSE will print it to what looks like a 16 by 20 print, even though all setting are for an 8 x 10. Another problem is that even though the 9000 is set as my default printer, PSE always returns to my Epson 1400.
To further complicate this matter, if I use the Automation tool and select Canon Print Studio Pro, the 9000 prints perfectly with PSE12.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?.

Usually posted problems with the Pro9000 are poor colour matching ones, I don't recall a sizing problem before.
Have you checked all the places where size may be set, both in the PSE Print Dialogs (check paper size and print size, and under more options 'custom print size) and in the standard printer driver ?
Out of interest why would you NOT want to use Canon Print Studio Pro plug-in ? I thought this was Canon's recommended printing work flow.
Cheers,
Neale

Printing from Aperture, and printing from Lightroom.

Hello,
I have noticed when I print from Aperture using my Canon i9950 and a custom paper Colorsync profile, and if I then print from Adobe's Lightroom using the same Colorsync profile and paper, the print from Lightroom is much sharper. The Aperture print is exact in every respect except it is noticeably softer.
Anyone else notice this? And if so is this a recognised problem that may be fixed in 1.1?
Kind regards,
Anil K Solanki

Hi Charles, I totally agree with you. Lightroom's printing features are really excellent. In comparison Aperture almost seems like the printing of photographs was something the Aperture dev team bolted on at the last minute.
I sincerely hope Apple sort out, what for me is inexcusable in a professional commercial app. A few photographers I know are going to use the next release of Aperture as a turning point, if it can't print as good as the Beta Lightroom then they will become Lightroom users and say good bye to Aperture.
Apertures sorting and logging tools really are second to none, but if the print quality is poor, what is the point. I know for a large number of photographers, producing prints is not high on their list of needs, especially if they are supplying prints for publication or the web. But if I want to do what my old fashioned enlarger can do, which is create great prints, then hey I am not going to get it with Aperture.
I know Apple can fix this, I just hope they do.
Anil.

Borderless printing on epson 2100...please help!

Hello,
I've been trying to get borderless printing from aperture on my epson 2100. I've selected borderless printing in the Print Settings but it still won't allow me to move the slider down to 0. I've tried a bunch of different page sizes but basically I want borderless A4 and A3 prints and can't seem to manage it. Please help!
Thanks Lisa

Here's a possibility:
http://luminous-landscape.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t12342.html
Distilling down what they come up with at the end, try defining a custom paper size with a margin of at least .01" on a side - then try the calibration option, and see if you can enter values that expand the image to fit the page to be borderless.
It does seem like a bug with printing though.

Borderless printing - Canon Pixma mini 320

Printing from Aperture2.1 to my Canon Pixma mini 32 printer, I am unable to do a borderless 4 by 6 print. When using "Print Image" 4" * 6" (borderless) was selected, Layout options set to "scale to 4 * 6). No borderless printing is achieved.
Canon says that this is an Aperture problem.
Any suggestions?

You've marked your question as answered, even though no answer has been posted. I just ran into this problem myself, so I thought I'd post a link to the most likely solution:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302816
The article is from 2005, by the way. I wonder why Apple doesn't seem to want to fix this obvious bug? Why should it matter in which order the settings are made? Apple usually understands user-friendly design, but maybe they should give their Aperture team an extra training course on that subject...

Lightroom 2.6 Problem Printing Borderless Prints on Epson R800

I have used Lightroom to print borderless prints (using the paper setting - borderless -sheet feeder) and all has worked fine until I downloaded the new Apple Epson driver. I found this new Apple driver did not work well as the colours were washed out. So, I went back to the current Epson driver for Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.2) and I can print again. (The prints are now a bit dark but that can be addressed).
However, I now find I cannot print borderless prints (i.e. with no white edge) via Lightroom 2.6 using the current Epson driver and paper setting of borderless sheet feeder. The printer responds with "media not loaded correctly". When I go to Photoshop CS4 or iPhoto, I can print borderless prints. So, something is going on in Lightroom.
Any suggestions? Except of course to print borderless prints from Photoshop.

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.
Ernie
