When you print a borderless photo, part of the image will be cropped off because this option enlarges the image slightly beyond the paper size.

You need to adjust the image file to the size of the paper. If your application has margin settings, make sure they are set to zero before printing.

If you want to print borderless photos, refer to the table below because borderless printing is not available for all types of paper.

Note:

Borderless printing takes longer than normal printing. Print quality may decline in the top and bottom areas of the printout, or the area may be smeared when printing on papers other than those listed above. Print a single sheet to check the quality before printing large jobs.
