Printing Borderless Photos on Cut Sheets

You can print your photos with no margins, extending the image all the way to the edges of the page.

Note: For instructions on printing borderless photos on roll paper, see Printing on Roll Paper.

Although borderless printing is a bit slower, you get beautiful snapshots and enlargements, without trimming, on these papers and sizes:


Paper name	Sizes	Paper type or Media Type setting
EPSON Matte Paper Heavyweight	8 × 10 Letter (8.5 × 11 inches)	Matte Paper - Heavyweight
EPSON Glossy Photo Paper	Letter (8.5 × 11 inches)	Glossy Photo Paper
EPSON Photo Paper	Letter (8.5 × 11 inches)	Photo Paper

Always load the short edge first, even for printing landscape-oriented photos.

Load the printable side face up. It's usually whiter or brighter than the other side.

Load one sheet at a time.
