Re: [Digital BW] Borderless printing question

2011-02-02 by mrjimbo

A printer that does borderless does indeed print beyond the edge of the material.. It's ok however as their also equipped with  small pockets in strategic places that the inks gets deposited into.. So your not spraying inks in places you don't want them in the printer. Look for the small pockets you'll see them.. They have a hole in the bottom so I assume they lead somewhere.. I periodically wipe the pockets out using simple green, then their squeaky clean.. 
Sounds like your concerned about border less printing.. Don't be.. The biggest issue with it is that you have to plan for a small crop in the image on both sides to accommodate it.. Plan for it an dall is just fine. Have fun....

  Thanks..I will play with it. I was not sure if borderless printing was a good thing to do. I always wonder if the nozzles will stop firing exactly at the end of the paper of if the ink will start shooting inside the printer. 
  Maybe i am crazy !!!

  Note that you may have to adjust the up/down offset slightly when printing borderless on 11x14. Try it and see.

  I would go with the 11x14 option, save wasting paper and the effort to trim. My mantra is the less I have to touch a finished print the better

  i have an epson 2200 and I think i can do borderless printing. Now that I found out that Costco has 11x14 and 13x19 paper, i would like to try that. 
  I really want to do 11x14. Is it better to do borderless printing to have a full 11x14 image or go with 13x19 paper and print an 11x14 image on it. After that, i would trim the paper. 
  Thanks.
