Print borderless

Borderless printing lets you print to the edges of certain media types and a range of
standard media sizes.

NOTE: Open the file in a software application and assign the image size. Make sure
the size corresponds to the media size on which you are printing the image.
In Windows, you can also gain access to this feature from the Printing Shortcuts
tab. Open the printer driver, select the Printing Shortcuts tab, and select the printing
shortcut for this print job drop-down list.

NOTE: Borderless printing is not supported on plain media.

NOTE: Printing borderless photos will scale the image and leave a small image on
all sides of the media. Printing a borderless brochure will not scale the image, and
the image will be printed to the media's edge.
