Performing Borderless Printing

When selecting the paper size with Sheet - Borderless (Auto Expand), Sheet - Borderless (Retain Size), Roll Paper - Borderless (Auto Expand), Roll Paper - Borderless (Retain Size), or Roll Paper - Borderless Banner as the Paper Size in the Page Setup dialog, Epson recommends the following media conditions.

Accommodate media width:

  • 10 inch, 254 mm

  • 300 mm

  • 13 inch, 329 mm (Super A3/B)

  • 16 inch, 406.4 mm

  • 17 inch, 431.8 mm

  • 515 mm (B2)

  • 594 mm (A1)

  • 24 inch, 609.6 mm

  • 728 mm (B1)*

  • 36 inch, 914.4 mm*

  • 44 inch, 1117.6 mm*
* for EPSON Stylus Pro 9800/9400 use only.

Note:
  • If your application has margin settings, make sure they are set to zero before printing.
  • When printing on cut-sheet media, only the left and right margins are set to zero. The top margin is always 3 mm, and the bottom margin is always 14 mm. The back side of the paper may smear.
  • The ink may contaminate the platen of the printer. In this case, wipe the ink away using a cloth.
  • Printing with this feature takes longer time than normal printing.
  • When Premium Glossy Photo Paper (250) roll paper or Premium Semigloss Photo Paper (250) roll paper is used in printing, the top margin is always 20 mm.
  • The following media may smear in the top area when selecting Single Cut or Double Cut for the Auto Cut setting: Doubleweight Matte Paper, Singleweight Matte Paper, Enhanced Matte Paper, Textured Fine Art Paper, and UltraSmooth Fine Art Paper.
  • Smear may result in the top and bottom areas depending on the media.

To perform borderless printing, follow the steps below.

Note:
Always match the Format for setting in the Page Setup dialog with the Printer setting in the Print dialog; otherwise, data may not be printed correctly.
