Compatible media
You can use most types of Epson photo papers for printing
borderless photos (such as Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper or Epson Premium
Luster Photo Paper). You can also use Epson Matte Paper Heavyweight. The paper
size must be one of the following: 4 x 6 inch, 5 x 7 inch, 8 x 10 inch, or letter-size
(8.5 x 11 inch). You cannot use plain paper, Epson Premium Bright White Paper,
or Epson Photo Quality Ink Jet Paper.

Note:
|
| -
Printing with this feature takes longer than with normal printing.
|
|
| -
Print quality may decline in the top and bottom areas of the printout, or the area may be smeared when printing on media other than those listed above. Print a single sheet to check the quality before printing large jobs.

Preparing the
print data
Because this option enlarges the image to a size slightly larger than the paper size, the portion of the image that extends beyond the edges of the paper will not be printed.
When creating print data in an application, you need to adjust the data to the size of the paper. If your application has margin settings, make sure they are set to zero before printing.
