Custom Borderless Printing

Operating system Vista
Printer - C5180 All-In-One
Software PSP Elements v.7
I want to print borderless greeting cards on precut 6.5X10 cardstock. I was able to do this in PSP Elements v. 4 put cannot create the custom borderless size in v. 7.
I still have PSP v.4 installed and switch to it to print borderless but it becomes very complicated and I'm sure I shouldn't have to do this.
Also,shouldn't I be able to print borderless on non-photo papers?
Thanks for any help--Biscuit

Borderless printing is not supported with plain papers because ink near the edges of plain paper causes the paper to cockle, which would then tend to jam in the exit of the printer.
As for the issues with custom sizes in Elements 7 it seems that is an issue for Adobe to address. I do not have any suggestions there although you might try setting up the printer as if it had the nearest larges size and then adjust the borders in Elements so that it actaully prints borderless on the 6.5x10 media.

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?

I also had a problem finding the "Borderless" option in the print dialogue. Here's what Epson Support told me to do -- It worked perfectly. I can now print borderless from either of the two macs sharing my Epson 1280.

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).

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.

Borderless Prints

I need to print Borderless 8x12 prints on my Pixma 5320 printer. This is not one of the standard sizes available though I can set a custom size for this. Please explain the details of exactly how the printer works, why this doesn't seem to give borderless prints and what can be done about it. Shouldn't Canon provide standard size settings for all the standard paper sizes that are available? If I need to create a non paper size I can understand limitations, but not with standard sizes. Thanks

Hi pstu,
The PIXMA MG5320 allows for printing on custom paper sizes up to a maximum size of 8.50 x 26.61 inches (215.9 x 676.0 mm) on plain paper.

Borderless printing in Tiger with Epson

This has been a nightmare all along. Can anybody tell me how to print borderless with an Epson Stylus Photo RX500 on 4 x 6 inch? In addition to this it seems impossible to print borderless on 5 x 7 inch?
I removed my virtual second borderless printer and now I don't see how to put a new one back.
I am using iPhoto 6 by the way.
In printer utility 'Epson' shows 'gimp print v 5.0 beta 2. What is that about? I've never seen it before. Does this new driver change the way to add a borderless printer?
Many thanks for all your suggestions!

Borderless printing on epson RX600

Hi all, having trouble printing borderless in Aperture on my Epson RX600, if i export the image onto memory card then print on printer its borderless, but from Aperture ( and iPhoto come to that) it has a border, if i try and move the border slider beyond 0.32, nothing happens.
I have the latest drivers from epson installed and the icc profiles work just fine, not a disaster but wondered if anyone else has had a similar problem.
Cheers
Chris
iMac G5/Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Wow, quick response! I don't seem to have any borderless options in my dropdown so did go ahead and choose custom sizes. That seems to give me 2 less borders to worry about but I can't seem to change the size to fit the whole sheet in the preview view. I'm a bit of a novice at this (obviously). Any morehelp would be appreciated. I didnt use to have any problems getting A4 borderless prints from PS....do I have to go back to using that?
Cheers again, Lisa

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.

Issue on borderless printing using android HP ePrint app with HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw

Hi,
I am trying to print a pdf document which is of A4 size (11.7 x 8.3 inches without any borders) from android tablet using HP ePrint app along with the printer HP Laserjet Pro 200 color M251nw. When it is printed on A4 sheet, it adds the border on all the sides around 12mm-left, 11mm-right, 8mm-top, 9.5mm-botton margins.
On the printer the firmware datecode shows 20121026, Also the ePrint app which I am using is latest and upto date.
Please let me know how to print the borderless print in A4 sheet.
Regards,
Jaya

Hello revlib,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Turning off the Wireless Direct on the LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw should have disabled the SSID from broadcasting. Since disabling from the front display did not resolve, let us try from the Embedded Web Server (EWS).
To access the EWS you need to enter the I.P address for the M251nw into the address bar of your web browser. The I.P address can be collected by touching Setup ()> Reports> Network Summary.
Once in the EWS, click Network> Wireless Direct Setup> select Off and Apply.
Let me know if this has help

Borderless printing with Adobe reader or acrobat and HP Officejet Pro 8100

Hello,
When printing borderless with my Pro 8100 the printed pdf moves about 2mm to te left on the paper. (White vertical strip on the right side is the result and on the left side something is missing!).
What causes the problem seems to be that the HP Pro 8100 printsoftware makes the A4-format a littlebit larger (214,55 x 300,91) than an actual A4-format (210,00 x 297,00) when you choose borderless printing.
Therefore, I suppose that the pdf shoud be centered before printing. Adobe reader doesn't seem to have the possiblity to center the page however.
Any tips?

The borderless printing option is intended to print photo's on photo paper. When printing borderless the print is slightly oversized to eliminate (or reduce) to chance for white edges due to media skey. Depending on your operating system you may have a setting in the Advanced tab of the driver for Overspray, set this to minimum and see if it helps.

How to Create a Custom Canvas Print Order System

Hi,
I own a canvas print website but if anyone wants to order a 'custom' canvas print from their own photo they have to email me and I add effects and email them back. I'd like to move away from this and setup an automated system in Flash where the user can upload their image, select their canvas size, apply some effects, and then order online.
If you Google 'photos on canvas' there are literally loads of websites that have this functionality. I've got the time and will to learn & build my own version, and after looking at quite a few implementations I think Flash will be the best format to build this in (and I like the idea of keeping it all within the Flash environment rather than mixing php & javascript). www dot canvasdezign dot co dot uk/yourphotos.php is a good example - they use uploadify to upload the image and then its all in flash from there on.
I'd really appreciate it if any of you guys could point me in the right direction of where you think I should start with this project, and how you'd approach it? I'm relatively new to Flash but find with any new language the best way to learn is 'on the job'. I know that image handling can be difficult in any language so if there's a 'good' way of approaching this then I'd love to learn of it now rather than further down the line.
As a first step I'd like to get it working without the option of adding fancy effects to the images - a nice and simple image upload > select size > resize image to fit > save & upload image (actually, probably a more realistic first step will be having a single standard size rather than options).
Any pointers on how to approach this would be really appreciated. I'm using Flash Professional CS5.5 with ActionScript 3.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

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 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!

Borderless Printing issues with HP Officejet 4500

I have created a document using Microsoft word 2007 and am having trouble printing this document without borders. I have a HP Officejet 4500 which does support borderless printing. I have gone into properties when getting ready to print and made sure to check the borderless box. I am still left with a small 1/8 inch border around the entire page. I tried the shortcuts and selected brochures with the same results. I also tried changing the settings through word. I went into page set up and made the margins "0.0" on both sides as well as the top and bottom of the page. It still prints with borders. What am I missing???? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Having the same issue. I tried to print boderless from many different programms and with all settings I could choose. I get out a full photo or document after maybe 20 prints. Everytime the printer wants to print at least 2 pages, stops printing after 10-50% and restarts again.
I really would like to hear back from HP.

Can a photo book created in i photo be saved in pdf format or shared online with a customer before printing?

Can a photo book created in i photo be saved as a pdf or shared online in any way with a customer before printing?

Sure - once you make a PDF you can e-mail or share it as you want - although they can be large so you need a share capability for large file
