Printing Photos
Note:|
Using EPSON Easy Photo Print included on the CD-ROM is the easiest and quickest way to create various photos, such as borderless photos or photos with borders or frames. EPSON Easy Photo Print also helps you enhance your photos.
 See Starting EPSON Easy Photo Print
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.
