Can't print borderless on custom size?

Using Pixma MX455
I've bought a bunch of blank dvd insert paper, pre-cut (like these) and tried to print one for testing. So i've set the media type in the printer settings as 'glossy photo paper' and set the paper size to 'custom' with the right settings (7.25" x 10.75") but the moment i tick the 'borderless printing' option, the 'custom' option is removed from the paper size options and it reverts back to A4. this happens even when i use 'plain paper' as well.
Is there a way to override this restriction?
What can i do to print borderless on a custom size?

Hi jeanpaul,
When printing from your iOS devce, the paper size is selected automatically according to the application software being used on the device. When Apple's photo application software is used, the default paper size is 4x6. If you want to print on another paper size such as letter size paper, you will need to use a program that has that paper size as a selectable option and print from that program to the printer.

How can I print out a small size address book in Leopard?

How can I print out my address book in Leopard, preferably in pocket size and preferably
without each card having a separate page?

First off, you've posted in the Tiger forum, even though your profile says you're running Snow Leopard. Even worse, you're asking about Leopard. You need to be sure you post your questions in the corrrect forum.
As for the question itself, all you have to do is select the Group you want to print in Address Book, choose Print, select 'Pocket Address Book' from the pop-up Style menu, check the attributes you want included for each contact, and the paper size you want to use and Print.

Can't print borderless with my Epson 1280

I have problem printing borderless from my Powerbook to Epson 1280, using the Photoshop CS. The print preview shows the photo to be print borderless (using Epson Glossy Paper), but yet all the printout came out with est 1/4" white border.
This morning, I connected the printer to my PC, and printed the same file using Photoshop 7.0, and it came out borderless.
So, based on that, the problem is not the printer.
Has anyone experienced the same problem before?

Check with Epson support for updated drivers. Also check with Guten print (formerly known as gimp-print) support if using their drivers have any updates for borderless printers.

In elements 12 how to print borderless on custom paper size

how do I get rid of margins on custom paper printing so the print is borderless?

Paul,
I have an older version of PSE, but I doubt that they have changed the print dialog.
In Editor, go to File>Print, and on the bottom of the screen there is "More Options". Click on that to get to the "Custom Print Size" tab.. Check "Scale to Fit Media." Does that work?
Have a look at the "Printing Choices" tab as well. Is everything unchecked under "Border?"

How can I set up the printer for a custom size A7 OR 10X7 FOLDED GREETING CARD SIZE?

My new HP 7610 wide format printer does not have a "custom" paper size selection area. A 5x7 folded (open:10x7) greeting card is surely the most popular greeting card size but is NOT included in the printers size selection area- so - what to do?

I understand that the paper size is supported but not while printing from Windows:

Printing Problem with custom size paper in Illustrator

Hi having problems with my custom sized paper print using my canon printers it's the same on both the ip100 and the pro-100s, it was printing fine until i've updated my illustrator and mac os Yosemite, it prints the image at a reduced size on the paper to what it should be does anyone have any understanding of this? I've tried everything i know, is this a driver or system problem?

Thanks Jacob for your help, no doubt I'll be back in the morning, I'm burnt out now!

Can't print to correct paper size.

I am using an HP Deskjet 5440. I want to print to 4x6 paper. I go into iPhoto 6.0.6 and set up a picture to print on 4x6 paper (or so I think). I hit preview. It looks perfect. I hit print. It prints about an eighth of the picture (right proportions and all, as if it were going to look right on the paper) then stops and spits it out as if it's finished. Okay, I go into Photoshop Elements and try to print again using that program, this time it prints half the page correctly and spits it out after that. Then I go into Preview. It prints out 3/4 of the page correctly, but there is still white space on the page. What am I doing wrong? I would think that if it looked right in the "preview" mode, it would print out that way. Why is it not printing out to the full page. It's a landscape picture and I select landscape mode, I set it to fill a 4x6 page. In Page Setup I select 4x6 borderless printing. I just want it to look like it does in "preview mode." Can somebody please help me and tell me how to get it to print the entire image on the whole piece of paper? Thanks.

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried what you suggested and it didn't work. I am getting more and more frustrated. I don't know what the problem is. It's affecting all my photo programs though. It's not only happening in iPhoto, but my new Photoshop Elements and in Preview. It just prints out half the picture on 4x6 paper, whether I select landscape or portrait. If I print the picture out on 8 1/2 x 11 it comes out okay in the middle of the paper in 4x6.
Here's more details. I scanned in a bunch of negatives on my new Epson Perfection V200 PHOTO scanner. I used the negative caddy to scan them in. I scanned them in using 3200 dpi and original size target. I imported all the pictures to iPhoto and tried to print some of them out. When I set it up using 4x6 borderless printing, it only printed the picture on half the paper. It looked as if it was going to print correctly, but for some reason the printing stopped at half the page. When I used the other landscape setting it printed out the OTHER half of the picture. So, now I can tape the two halves and make one picture, but not a real solution, is it?
So, I opened up Photoshop Elements, which I also just purchased. I tried printing from there and it still only printed a partial picture. The same result came from trying to print it from Preview. Although, sometimes, the printer goes through the motions of printing and then NOTHING is printed on the page.
Also, for some reason, the black and white photos come out looking as if they've been through some sort of filter, like "emboss" or something similar. What could be causing that?
Here is what I am using:
Intel iMac 20 inch
2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo
2 GB of SDRAM
256 Megs VRAM
iPhoto 6.0.6
Photoshop Elements 4.0.1
HP Deskjet 5440
Kodak Premium Photo Paper 4x6
I have tried various settings and I cannot get it to print on a full 4x6 page. Even when I use constrain or page setup or various combinations.
When I printed out large numbers of 4x6 photos on my old iMac G3 last year using the last version of iPhoto and the same HP Deskjet printer, they came out perfectly. They had been taken with a Kodak Digital camera.
Any help would be appreciated, I get more and more frustrated.

Can I print to different paper sizes with AirPrint and Safari?

I am the organizer of a trade show coming up.
We are using a web based registration system for attendees.
To print the attendee badges, we simply log in to the site through the net, and print them. I have an HP CP1525nw loaded with 3x5 index cards that will slide into the badge holders.
When printing from the Mac, I simply go to Page Setup, set the paper size and orientation and print.   It works great.
However, we would love to use iPads for our registration staff. Not only are they less expensive, but they are portable, and totally wireless.   We can access the site just fine, and the badges show great on the screen.   The website generates the badges as a .pdf file and they load into the browser.
When printing from the iPad, the badges print HUGE, filling an entire 8.5x11 size page.   With the 3x5 card stock loaded in the paper tray, they still print huge, only showing the portion of the badge on the 3x5 card in the location it would be had there been letter size paper in the tray.
Any ideas?
I've considered formatting another badge for letter size, and having it print only where the 3x5 card would fall... but that is a huge tweak that I think should be unnecessary.
How do I print to different size paper from my iPad?
Thanks for the help in advance.
--Brian

Thanks for the info.
It will let me send the PDF to eprint.... and there are paper size choices.
However, they only offer Letter, Legal and A4.
My printer DOES support 3x5 index cards. But, the option is not listed.
Any other ideas?

Why can't I create a custom size in a new document in CS4?

I just recently re-installed CS4 onto another computer and now I can't select "Custom" in the size when creating a new document.

Just enter the desired values and then it will be called "custom" by itself.

Borderless printing in custom sizes

I'm working on an HP 2575 with Windows 7
I need to print borderless at custom sizes - the main one being 125x250mm.
I understand that this isn't a pre-programmed option but somehow in the past I have managed to create a template in print properties that does exactly what I want! Now I have a new size that I need (144x288mm) and I have tried to configure the settings many different ways but it's always printing with a 3mm blank border.
I have rang Hp who can't help unless I pay for tech support and then they don't guarantee a solution so I thought I'd see if anyone else had a similar problem or workaround for me?
Many thanks.

This question is Not Answered....
"ummm".... Simply trying to help.
I used A4 as an example because that's what I was doing at the time, on my A4 printer - not my HPDesignjet 130nr, which is 600mm wide, on a roll!

Difficulty printing borderless photos for custom sizes

I am finding it difficult to print a borderless photo. When I try to print using the photo paper I have it always prints a border (or does not print in the border - so i guess this is called cropped).
The photo paper is not in the "Paper Size" list of the print dialogue in Preview (or iPhoto). So I specify the size using the "Manage Custom Sizes" option (similar in iPhoto). The size is 89 x 127 mm. In the print preview it looks fine, but when it is printed, a white border (ie, non printed area) crops the whole image. The one side is a 5mm border, with its opposite being 3 and the other two being 3.4.
I have noticed that when I play around with the Paper size, the standard sizes (like A4) for example, all have a "borderless" option (ie, I can select "A4" or "A4 (borderless)"). When A borderless size is selected certain other options are disabled/enabled. For example, the options under the "borderless printing" 'tab' is enabled and the options under the "duplex printing and margins" 'tab' becomes disabled. This is the exact opposite for when I try and specify my paper size. So perhaps this is a factor. (Even though I would have expected the "border" option set to "none" would mean that there would be no border...)
So just to save ppls time, this is what I am doing when I print:
1. The image is exactly 89x127mm (created with GIMP)
2. I print using Preview (similar results are achieved in iPhoto, but more pain to get there)
3. I set the paper size to 8.9 by 12.7cm (see note 1)
4. I don't change the scale (though i have experimented with all options here and nothing seems to change).
5. I check that Layout > Border > None is selected. It always is.
6. I change Quality and Media > Media Type to Glossy Photo Paper. (not that this should matter)
7. I go to borderless printing tab and note that it is disabled. great.
8. The preview shows no borders and so I hit print, but the borders come anyway (the image gets cropped).
Note
I have managed to print borderless photo images with this printer using the supplied photo paper that came with the printer. I don't think i have been able to do it since moving to this new size but I may be wrong...
Note 1
When I am setting the size in Preview, I can specify the "Non-Printable Areas". I set these to zero, though I note that the 'canon mp640 series' presets are the exact measurements that is the area that does not get printed.
Note 2
In case it has a bearing on the problem, the printer I am using is a Canon MP640.

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).

Printing custom sizes on HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus from Macbook Pro

I am having trouble setting up a Word Document (Word for Mac 2011) to print in a custom size on my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. I'm using a Macbook Pro running Yosemite.
I would like to print on a card stock that is 4.5 in x 13.5 in. I have tried under Page Setup to create a custom size under Manage Custom sizes, however, I'm hitting a brick wall. The printer gets the job but can not feed the paper. I've also tried to set my default paper size under my System Preferences/Printers and Scanners to be this size...still not working.
Please help!

Hi @klinecard
It is important to ensure the paper size you are selecting is a supported size, and make sure the weight is supported too.
Printer Specifications for the HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Series Printer Series
Please look under paper handling.
If your desired size and weight is supported, you might find the following helpful; Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X
Truthfully, since you are not getting an error message, I suspect you have correctly setup the custom size, this issue is most likely the printers inability to feed the paper you are using.

Difficulty Printing Borderless Prints with Epson C84

When I had an iMac G3 with OS 9.2 and used the Epson menu for printing, I had no difficulty printing 4x6 inch borderless prints (since that is one of the options on the Epson Menu). But now that I am forced to use the OS 10 printing menu, even when I identify the printer as an Epson C84, crop the photos to fit a 4x6 page and show "0" margins on all sides when selecting 4x6 as paper size, using either iPhoto or Photoshop Elements 3.0, the prints come out with a small white border on all four sides. The Apple Menu with Epson as the chosen printer does not give me an option that says "4 x 6 borderless" when choosing the paper size. Is there something I need to set differently in order to get borderless prints?

How can I print BOTH legal and letter on my duel tray printer????

How can I print BOTH legal and letter on my duel tray printer from my mac? on a pc you can choose "print according to pdf size" and the mixed document will print in both legal and letter auto-selecting the printer tray.

Hello CKAY,
My old printer does not show 8x10 either.
In the printing preferences under the Paper/Quality tab, do you see a "Custom" option or button? There should be one in there somewhere in your preferences.
Click on that and create a custom size of 8 in for the width and 10 in for the length. Be sure to "Name" it 8x10 Photo and click ok.
Now give it whatever attributes you want under the other tabs and click Apply and OK (or just OK).
Close out the printer and open it again and the new size you created should show in the list.
