Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6450 - Manual (Page 92)

• Print Image with Actual Size
Prints originals at actual size, without enlarging or reducing them. We recommend when focusing on image quality.
You should create the original at a size larger by 3 mm on each side than the paper size.
Note
• Not all page sizes are available.
• When performing borderless printing without using Print Image with Actual Size, the image deteriorates slightly be-
cause the image is automatically enlarged.
For instructions on borderless printing of photos and images at actual size, refer to the following topics, as appro-
priate for your computer and operating system.
• Borderless Printing at Actual Size (Windows) →P.92
• Borderless Printing at Actual Size (Mac OS X) →P.94

This topic describes how to print borderlessly at actual size based on the following example.
If you use an A1 or A2 roll for borderless printing, insert the provided Spacer for Borderless Printing on the Roll Hold-
er. (See "Loading Rolls on the Roll Holder.")
→P.533
If you do not attach the Spacer for Borderless Printing, the Platen may be soiled from borderless printing.
Important
• When borderless printing is used, the edge of the paper is cut during printing. Thus, ink density may be uneven at the edges.
If you require higher image quality, select No from the Automatic Cutting list in the Roll Paper Options dialog box. In this
case, the paper can be printed without borders on the left and right sides only. Once printed and cut, please cut the upper
and lower bands with scissors.

Create the original in the source application 3 mm (0.12 in) larger on each side than 254.0×304.8 mm (10 × 12
in) —that is, 260.0×310.8 mm (10.2 × 12.2 in)
Note
• If you can specify the margin, as in Microsoft Word, set the margin at 0 mm. For instructions on specifying the mar-
gin, refer to the software documentation.
• The extra 3 mm (0.12 in) on each side will not be printed. Create the original so that it fits inside the paper area to be
printed on.
