White background in printing

I have a grey background colour, while printing there's a white frame around the edge. that white frame completely change the appearance of the document, how can I get rid of it?

Most print shops won't be able to help with borderless printing.
Toner based digital printers and copiers cannot print borderless.
If they have inkjet printers, they are usually for printing large items like banners.
Some print shops might have smaller "fine art" inkjet printers.
But their inkjet printers will be using a wide variety of media, and will charge accordingly. Some may charge by the square foot.
You need to rethink this. Assuming your document is 8.5 x11 inches, you can just print it yourself and cut away the white border.
Or if you need the color to extend to the edges of a letter sized page, you need to create the document with a bleed on all four sizes and extend all color elements into this bleed area. The bleed is usually .125 in (1/8 in) then export it as a PDF with bleeds and crop marks.
The print shop can print this letter size (with bleeds = 8.75 x 11.25 in) on a 11 x 17 in paper and they can cut away the bleeds after printing.
But they will charge you for a 11x17 print (usually double the price of a 8.5 x11 print)
They will also charge for cutting/trimming away the bleed and excess paper.

    about this method: setImageableArea(.....)
    public void setImageableArea(double x, double y,  double width, double height);
    like I said, I've tried this method and it doesn't seem to do anything.
    the width=the JFrame Width,the height=the JFrame Height right?actually, when printing, 72 points (printing version of pixels) = 1 inch, so to do WYSIWYG, you need width = JFrameWidth * 72.0 / Toolkit.getToolkit().getScreenResolution. Ditto with height
    upper left beginningx(0)---------------------------200--------------------------------600-----------------------------------y(1000)upper right beginningyou need to do something like PageSetup.getImageableX and do Graphics.translate(x,y);
    also, if your page width = 720, that = 10 inches - that's a wide page (unless its in landscape)
    so if i want the JFrame To Be In The Center Of The Page I Would Choose From x=200 ,y=600 depending that frame width is 400Actually, it would be 300 - 700 in your example
    Because when i tried to use:setImageableArea(200, 600,  400, 200);like the above code
    no changes occurs in the printed paperYes. You need to offset the Graphics object

  • White background of image created in Photoshop prints as grey through iPhoto postal ordering service.

    I have created an image in Photoshop with a white background (I stuck with the default white background that the new image gave me). Over the top of this, I placed some images, saved it as a JPG, imported it into iPhoto and ordered it as a postcard-sized picture.
    When I received it in the post, the whole image had printed with a grey overtone: the white background was in fact grey, and the pictures over the top were darker.
    How can I resolve this to print my image with a truly white background through iPhoto's ordering service?
    Many thanks,
    Adam

    If unchecking the scene-referred profiles box clears the display problem in Photoshop, you most likely have hit a known bug with defective monitor profiling packages building defective monitor profiles that affect Photoshop and After Effects — specifically, the defective profile is erroneously marked as "scene referred."
    Version 4 ICC Profiles: If your are using v4 printing profiles, try Googling for more information...some symptoms of this bug are Photoshop prints a light cyan or blue in the page white areas. The Fix is to use Version 2 printer profiles.
    there is another old known issue that has to do with trying to Hard Proof simulate press conditions (printing cyan in whites) but i am not sure what you are trying and i can't recall it right now
    if those aren't it upload these screenshots of your workflow:

    Hi,
    As you experienced all DIALOG function modules will not work in Batch because the is no connection with a frontend (PC).
    You have to get your PDF on a server so you can process them in Batch.
    Maybe you can than use the FM: ALINK_DOCUMENTS_CREATE_FILE

    working on desktop publishing project that will be printed in black white only. Have photoshop images that will be used as illustrations. when I put these images into InDesign and print them, a gray square/rectangle appears behind the image. I cannot eliminate the gray background. it is essential to the project that the images print directly on paper without the background gray. have tried several youtube video lessons but none has been completely successful yet.

  • White backgrounds printing grey

    Hello,
    I am using CS 5.5 on a mac
    Somehow, today I have managed to change the colour profiles and I can't figure out how to reset them. I don't usually adjust these profiles, but today I had printing problems with a HP printer and I adjusted them. This has made the problem much worse!
    When I print, the white backgrounds print grey. If I close and open the document, it says not synchronised. I went to Bridge and selected one colour profile but it doesn't seem to have made much difference.
    How can I get the settings back to how they were originally??!!
    I can use Indesign at a novice level, but I rarely look under the bonnet!
    Thanks for your help.

  • Printer errors on white background

    I just got an "Out of Memory" error when printing.  Aside from the wasted paper, the error message is printed on a 50% grey background.
    On A3 paper at max quality, that's a lot of ink wa$ted.
    If we must print error messages on the printer, can we please have them on a white background?

    Anyone the same problem?

  • How Do I: Remove White Background From a Non-Standard Sized PDF?

    Hello. Been a little while since I was last here.
    My issue is pretty simple. I am creating a PDF in Acrobat Pro X from MS-Word 2007. My document is landscaped half-page sized (US), so dimensions are: 8.5" wide, 5.5" high.
    When I attempt to print to PDF, the dimensions come out correctly, but there is a white background which is the size of a landscaped 8.5" x 11" sheet. Against this background, the 8.5" x 5.5" area is situated (nearly) centered vertically, but "right-justified" horizontally (see image). I need to find out how to fix this.
    Here's what I know:
    In MS Word:
    For "Page Setup" (under Page Layout tab):
    - under Margins tab, orientation is landscape;
    - under Paper tab, "Paper size" is "Custom size", with Width 8.5", Height 5.5" ;
    - No changes under Layout tab.
    For "Preferences" (under Acrobat tab)
    - under Settings tab, "Conversion Settings" are a custom setting ("Advanced Settings"), with "Default Settings" of Width 8.5 inches and Height 5.5 inches.
    When I Print > Adobe PDF:
    For "Properties" in Print window:
    - Under Layout tab, "Orientation" is "Landscape" ;
    - Under Paper/Quality tab, "Paper Source" is custom with Width 8.5" and Height 5.5".
    - Under Adobe PDF Settings tab, "Default Settings" is "High Quality Print (Custom)" with (Custom) being the settings I set under Acrobat > Preferences.
    - Also under Adobe PDF Settings tab, "Adobe PDF Page Size" is custom with Width 8.5" and Height 5.5".
    The result is pictured above.
    The last thing I did before posting this was run Help > Repair Acrobat Installation in Adobe X. Any suggestions? You can't do worse than I have.

  • Want to create an oval vignette in photoshop elements 10 with transparent background for printing w

    I am fairly new to PSE and I want to create an oval vignette in Photoshop Elements 10 with transparent background for printing on white paper using MS Publisher. Using the white background on inverse selection makes a slight line impression and either it should have a defined "frame" or nothing.
    Appreciate any guidance.

    Try with the Elliptical marquee tool:
    On the tool's option bar set feather 25-40 px (experiment)
    Drag out the Ellipse to embrace the object
    Go to Layer>new>layer via copy, or CTRL+J
    Your selection should fade out as a vignette and be surrounded by transparency
    Save this layer via File>save for web, select PNG-24, and tick "Transparency"

  • Shade background before printing a form

    Hi,
    I have a single page form which need to be printed twice, the first copy with a white background ( standard ) the second copy needs to have the page shaded with a yellow Background.
    Reason to save having to put a white paper and yellow paper into printer. Will then only need two sheets of white paper.
    I know the printing javascript just need the code for shading the background before printing.
    Thanks
    panos

    Don't forget that a bit of yellow paper is probably a lot cheaper than the ink. Don't know if the cost or the conveninece was your goal.

  • White background around graphics shows as a blue tint ...

    The white background around graphics that contain a drop shadow,shows as a blue tinted region only when printing as a pdf/pdf-x file to color laser printers. Ink jet printers print the page correctly. Since I work in a pc environment, I save pages files as pdf or pdf-x onto a flash drive. When I open the file on a pc in acrobat reader, it shows the white background. The color laser is an HP Color Laserjet 2550PS. I'd like to include the drop shadows and print to the laser, since the inkjets are being phased out.
    Any suggestions about the cause or solution to this problem?
