Title: borderless printing/banner Post by: kopyrite on March 02, 2017, 06:04:45 PM Hello all. Calling for help from the experts.
I am trying to print several 36" x 288" banners with not-quite-to-the-edge borderless printing on an epson 9900. Win10. Full disclosure: I am not 100% familiar with qimage, and I just *minutes ago* installed the 2017 update from the 2016 version. The 9900 drivers were updated within the last month or so also. I frequently print borderless using the epson driver or other software. It seems to me that I have setup the printer with the correct size, borderless printing, etc. But the preview/print show that my image is cropped and is NOT printing to the edge. I can not figure out how to get around this? I found a place to set the margins, and checked that they are zero. To make things slightly more complicated, I have had to create reduced size image files to import them into qimage. So, the images must be enlarged to fit onto the sheet when printed. It appears the "fit to page/notcropped" prints a smaller image with all the parts on the page. The "fit to page/print area" combined with "allow crop" allows the image to expand to the proper size, but it crops my text and insists on a border with no printing. What am I missing? How can I achieve full-width paper size print? Title: Re: borderless printing/banner Post by: kopyrite on March 02, 2017, 07:47:45 PM Solved, perhaps. Even though I had borderless printing selected, even though I had the full page size set correctly, the expansion set correctly, and the crop to size selected, there was a setting that had a border set on only one edge. As far as I know, I didn't put it there! But I sure can remove it! :) Looking to print a sample shortly.

No problem making your requested size with crop off or on. Fred Title: Re: borderless printing/banner Post by: Fred A on March 02, 2017, 08:13:21 PM Quote Solved, perhaps.

I have no visuals to go by, but perhaps the one sided border might have been PLACEMENT setting. Use Optimal spaced.Title: Re: borderless printing/banner Post by: kopyrite on March 02, 2017, 08:13:46 PM Fred, you're awesome. Thanks for the reply, and setting up that size just to test my somewhat confusing post. (My text is part of my image. I'm printing an image that is all text with descending letters like "g" that were cutting off.) I think that I may have solved it by removing a setting that had a 2" border on one edge. Maybe it was a legacy setting from another print, I'm clueless to why it was there. But I'm printing now, and the result is truly, beautifully borderless! Yay! Many thanks again for your reply. Robin
