Why when using the borderless print option do I get deterioration and smeared ink around the edges?
To print Edge-to-Edge you will need to use the correct media. Using normal 80-90gsm papers will cause the edges of the paper to curl due to saturation. Using a Media that is suitable for Photo printing such as EPSON Premium Glossy or ESPON Archival Matte paper will cure the issue.
