Borderless Printing

  • By selecting Borderless Printing option, you can make prints with no margins.

  • When performing Borderless Printing, slight cropping may occur at the edges since the printed image is enlarged to fill the whole page.

    For Borderless Printing, use the following paper.

    • Glossy Photo Paper "Everyday Use" GP-501

    • Photo Paper Glossy GP-502

    • Photo Paper Plus Semi-Gloss SG-201

    • Photo Paper Pro Platinum PT-101

    • Photo Paper Plus Glossy II PP-201

    • Matte Photo Paper MP-101

    Performing Borderless Printing on any other type of paper may substantially reduce printing quality and/or result in printouts with altered color hues.

    Borderless Printing on plain paper may result in printouts with reduced quality. Use them only for test printing.

  • Depending on the type of paper, Borderless Printing may reduce the print quality at the top and bottom edges of the paper or cause these parts to become smudged.

  • When performing Borderless Printing in copy or easy photo reprint mode, you can specify the amount of images that extends off the paper by Extended copy amount in Print settings under Device settings.
