Borderless printing without cropping on a Mac

Printer: OfficeJet 7500A
Computer: Mac OSX
Trying to print on 8.5" x 11" paper, with no borders.  After 9 failed attempts, I have gotten my image to print fully without borders all the way to the edges of the page but it now crops the bottom and right side of the image that it's printing. The preview on the print screen is not cropped but the printer spits out a cropped image.
How can I get it to stop cropping? I'm very frustrated with this. 

Hello,
Thanks for the post.  I've included a link below that may assist with this question.  Good Luck!

  • How to Print Without Cropping Pages

    I'm new to the Book tool, and cannot figure out how to print a book on my Epson 4800 printer without cropping the pages.
    I'm using Aperture 3.1.2 and OSX 10.6.6.
    I created a custom "Book Type" with a Page Size of 11 in. wide x 8.5 in. high.
    I created pages, added images, and tried to print. No matter what I do, I cannot get an 8.5 x 11" sheet to print with the same content as my 11 x 8.5" book pages.
    If it helps, I'm using cut sheet 8.5x11" paper in my Epson 4800.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    As Peter said, you can't with Pages, but you could export the file as a PDF & then print just the desired pages in Preview.

  • Borderless printing without cutting image off

    I've been trying to print some borderless 4by6 pictures, on my brand spankin new Photosmart C4480. The problem i'm having is that some of the image always get's cut off. I edit the pictures before i print them so that the aspect ratio matches 4by6 (1.5 or .666, whichever) but alas, it always seems to print the image so that some pixels are missed. Sometimes this can mean a forehead being cut off even.
    As far as i can tell i've got all the image printing options set, i've got the right aspect ratio in the image, I dont know what i'm doing wrong.
    given that it's cutting off all 4 edges, i looked inside thinking maybe it was spraying ink inside (missing the edges) but this does not seem to be the case.
    Advice?

    Hi,
    I have used HP printers before, but I am not familiar with your model.  However, you might look in your print options.  On my printer of another brand, I have the option of printing borderless or not.  If I do not choose this option, it will "crop" my picture all the way around.  Hope this helps! 

  • Ordering Prints without Cropping First

    Hey all,
    I just ordered some prints via the built in Kodak function, and I'm just wondering - If you don't rop them to the aspect ratio you're ordering, what happens? Is there someone there who crops them the right way? Do they scale to fit and you just get black bars?
    Thanks!

    I want to jump in here and ask a question about cropping if I may.
    I am trying to figure out in Photoshop or iPhoto where I can quickly & easily crop (perhaps via a template overlay box thing) to exact proportions (8x10, etc) so that I decide what is cut off and what isn't.
    I would imagine if I had an exact 8x10 aspect ratio image, the result back from the apple photo service would have 1) no borders and 2) no cropping.
    The only reason I am using the apple/iphoto combo is primarily because my printer won't do larger than 8x10, and I sometimes want to do larger than that.
    Thanks

  • No borderless printing; cannot print via imagebrowser...Please...help!

    I can no longer print 4x5 borderless photos (or any photos) from imagebrowser to my i850 canon printer. I have version 6.0.2.38(7L) of Imagebrowser with Leopard installed on my Mac. I select the print option, and then it says to click on Page Setup for borderless printing. The only option I get there is 4x6 (with a border)??? There is no 4x6 borderless like I used to have with the old imagebrowser and system. I set up the print dialogue box to select the "best" picture (used to have a setting for high quality pictures???) and then I click on "Print" and nothing happens. It never goes to printer and I can't cancel or anything. I have to do a force quit. How do I just print a 4x6 borderless print using Imagebrowser on my Mac??????? Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!!!

    I am not sure where to look for these drivers.
    Both the Canon v4.8.3 and Gutenprint v5.1.3 are included with Leopard
    I went to the Canon web site and downloaded the latest driver v4.8.3 and it put it where it needs to go but doesn't tell you where that is.
    It would try to copy them to /Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter, but since the same files for this version would already there be, it might not do this unless the file being added are newer. It should also copy the package installer for the 4.8.3 to /Library/Receipts.
    Anyway, when I went back into Imagebrowser I now have a much shorter list of options, plus do have the 4x6 borderless now. I click on Page Setup in Imagebrowser and select this, but when I go out of there and click on "Print" absolutely nothing happens. I still can't print from Imagebrowser. I use Quarkexpress and can print on plain paper fine so I know the printer works, but cannot print from within Imagebrowser for glossy prints. Any ideas what I may need to do?
    Not really. I used v6.1 in my testing. Maybe your v6.0.x has a problem with 10.5. Also, if you upgraded from Tiger to Leopard and didn't do a clean install of ImageBrowser, then maybe this is causing the failed printing.
    You mentioned you can print on plain paper from Quark. Can you print on plain paper from ImageBrowser?
    My last suggestion would be to view the cups error log. With the i850 printer queue open, select Printer then Logs & History. This may give some clues as to why ImageBrowser is not working for you...

  • Borderless printing in Lightroom 5--Mac Yosemite, Canon i9900.  Selected 8.5x11 borderless media, but LR insists on printing with borders.  Tried adjusting cell size and margins, but LR won't allow setting to zero.

    LR won't allow me to adjust the margins below minimum values of about 0.25 in.  Borderless printing and 8.5x11 borderless media are selected.
    LR also won't allow me to increase the cell size.  It seems to have a maximum of 8x10.68.
    Aspect ratio of the image I'm trying to print is 8.5x11 so it should be a perfect fit.
    When I print the same image in Photoshop, it prints borderless just fine on the same printer.
    Mac, Yosemite, Canon i9900.

    I have had some more trials to print without boarders. This time, it was inside of iPhoto. I had made a greeting card and wanted to print to a custom size. but without the ability to select the size as a boarder less size, I was unable to print directly. So instead, I had to save as a pdf > save pdf to iPhoto and then print the image as a photo (instead of a card).

  • The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor.  When I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.

    The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor.  I just purchased my iMac for my photography business in Jan. (this is my first Mac).  When I first tried printing, I noticed the quality wasn't as good as I expected it to be.  Then, I had to print 4-3.5x5s on a sheet, so I e-mailed the image to myself and opened it on my PC to print it (much easier to print that way on PC in Windows Photo Gallery - I think it's impossible to print that way in iPhoto).  That's when I first noticed that when I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.
    I've already been on the phone and e-mail w/Applecare many times over this issue. We've tried creating a test user and printing from there, and we've tried reinstalling the OS.  I've tried printing from iPhoto, ImageCapture, and Preview apps/utilities, all w/the same result - no comparison to the PC-printed versions (no enhancements have been performed on the PC).
    I'm out of ideas, and so is Applecare.  They say it's most likely a driver issue b/c the printer is outdated, and that the only solution is to buy a new printer.  BUT it is a pain for me to purchase a new printer - it takes days of research due to the nature of my business and the fact that I need a printer that can print directly onto a disc.  I love this printer and don't want to have to buy a new one if I don't have to.

  • Printing with captions without cropping?

    I'm trying to print a bunch of photos in iPhoto. I have 8.5 by 11 photo paper, and so I want to print two photos to a page, with a caption for each photo. The problem is that when I have the layout #1, I see the whole photo and there is no space for a caption. Then I choose layout #2 so that I can put in a caption, and instead of resizing the photo, it CROPS the photo. Why does it do that? I just want to print the WHOLE photo at a size that reasonably fits with a short caption. I don't want to crop the photo in order to fit a caption, I want to resize the whole thing.
    Is there a way to do that in iPhoto 08? If not, can anyone recommend another program that will let me type in a short caption for each photo and print it without cropping the photo?
    Its very frustrating in general that iPhoto crops to fit various size paper instead of resizing and letting there be margins.

    suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
    In the preview window you can right click (control click) on each photo and select "fit to frame" - there is not an overall "fit to frame" option - you have to do it for each photo

  • 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

  • Are borderless prints possible in Elements 4 for Mac?

    I have worked in Elements 2 for years in Mac OS9 with lovely consistent results. Have now upgraded to Elements 4 for Mac (iBookG4, OS10.4.8,1.5G RAM) and am having problems. I am getting a handle on the processing menus, but cannot figure out how to print borderless prints. I have been doing it for years - 4x6, 5x7, 10x12 - in Elements 2 on my Epson Stylus Photo R300. I have tried setting parameters in the Print Preview dialogues, in my printer menus - cannot make it happen. I assume it is something I am doing incorrectly or not doing. Please help! Thanks.

    Barbara,
    I tried after downloading the most recent drivers - still no luck with borderless. I have emailed Epson Tech Support for suggestions. I am confused about the driver situation. I go to Print Preview (am still unsure of what selections to make here to get the proper orientation - it seems to do portrait when I want landscape and vice/versa) - I usually try 4x6 or custom and type in the actual dimensions to fill a 4x6 borderless (based on what I would do in Elements 2). Then I go to Page Setup - select the R300, then in Print I select the R300, 4x6 borderless and Premium Glossy Photo Paper. The Print Preview at that point still shows a border, atho it is grey, not white, and when I print, I get a white border. The orientation thing seems to be a bug - when I choose Landscape in the Printer driver, I get portrait in the Elements 'preview'. Sorry to go on so long, but I thought maybe there might be something in this that might give a clue - I really can't afford to buy a new printer right now, and have no idea how to look for a driver. Thanks for your patience.

  • Having 2 Problems Help (How to print without tiles, how to print borderless)

    Windows XP Home Premium
    HP Officejet J4500 All In One Series
    I have a Jpeg image with text that I would like to print but the borders HP adds are killing me. Why is it not possible to center the **bleep** image perfectly ona  standard letter size baffles my frakin mind. I just want a simple stupid print of the **bleep** image why you got to make it so **bleep** difficult. Should I resize the stupid picture from its current state of 850x1050?? Will that even fkin help?
    Than I try to print a stupid Windows Office 2007 File witch has a background picture on it and some text and the fkin thing comes out tiles, except for the text, what kind of crackhead printer setup do I have wrong here?
    How do I make it print untiled and what the hell do all these borderless meanings mean?
    If anyone can help I would great appreciate it, sorry for the frustration.
    Borderless printing lets you print to the edges of certain media types and a range of standard media sizes.
    Note 1    
    Open the file in a software application and assign the image size. Make sure the size corresponds to the media size on which you are printing the image.
    You can also gain access to this feature from the Printing Shortcuts tab. Open the printer driver, select the Printing Shortcuts tab, and select the printing shortcut for this print job drop-down list.
    Note 2    
    Borderless printing is not supported on plain media.
    To print a borderless document (Windows)
    1
    Load the appropriate media. For more information, see Load media.
    2
    Open the file that you want to print.
    3
    From the application, open the print driver:
    a
    Click File, and then click Print.
    b
    Click Properties or Setup.
    4
    Click the Paper/Quality tab.
    5
    Select the media size from the Size is drop-down list.
    6
    Select the Borderless Printing check box.
    7
    Select the media source from the Source is drop-down list.
    8
    Select the media type from the Type is drop-down list.
    Note    
    Borderless printing is not supported on plain media.
    9
    If you are printing photos, select Best from the Print Quality drop-down list. Alternatively, select Maximum dpi, which provides up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi* for optimum print quality.
    *Up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi for color printing and 1200 input dpi. This setting might temporarily use a large amount of hard disk space (400 MB or more) and will print more slowly.
    10
    Change any other print settings, and then click OK.
    11
    Print the document.
    12
    If you printed on photo media with a tear-off tab, remove the tab to make the document completely borderless.

    Hi,
    With the jpeg, can you do a Print Preview first to make sure it looks centred? Or do you have an option to print a full page photo?
    For the second issue, try checking that the print option doesn't have tiles selected. You could also try the 'Set Print area' option if you have it.
    The text you've copied about the borderless printing is just about ensuring that you have the right properties selected (for paper type, paper size, print quality)
    Hope this is of some help to you....

  • Borderless Printing - Film Factory

    Just wanted to let those who are having problems printing borderless photos without first constraining the original photo that there is a nice application by Epson called Film Factory that lets you do this with ease; there is a Mac version of the software and you can download a demo version; the full app costs $30.
    I use it a great deal and it works v. well.
    Here is the link:
    http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/FilmFactory/FilmFactoryHome.jsp?BV_UseBVCooki e=yes
    FYI
    Dual G5/Power Book 12 /Flat Panel 800    

    But it still trims the photo to match the paper size selected. Only it makes the decision of what to trim (crop) and not the user. In printing a photo with a 4:3 ratio it will take the same amount off the top and bottom while pinning the width to the edges of the paper. There's no way you can squeeze pixels in the ration of 4:3 into a rectangle with a ratio of 2:3 without either losing some pixels or changing the shape of the pixels and distorting the image.
    So, If you want to control what is ultimately printed you're better off doing it yourself instead of letting the software do it arbitrarily for you.

  • 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?

  • 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
