Printing the whole image without margins

Hi There

Losing my devshed virginity with this post

I am having a print issue with pshop7.

Bit of background:

Its a letterhead with a 9mm gradient on the right hand side, some text and not much else.

The problem I am having is that the gradient is not printing right up to the edge of the paper. I have set up the paper size as A4 and selected A4 as the paper size on my printer settings.

I am getting a "...some clipping may occur" error message before printing.

Any ideas People

Many thanks in advance

if you do the print with preview it will let you move the image around and resize as needed

good lucky and rock on!!

Unless you have a marginless printer, (like an Epson 1280, for example), your printer that needs that margin in order for the rollers to carry the paper through and print your image. Some printers have a larger margin than others, but to recap, there is no way to print in that small area of paper, simply because it's where the printers rollers are grabbing the paper.

What model printer do you own?

Hi Gabe

I own a Lexmark 1150 series, multi scan copy print thingy. Bog standard office fare really.

Cheers for your advice by the way

Yep, I looked at the specs of the printer and since it does have rollers to carry the paper through, you'll always have margins on the left & right, as well as the top & bottom of the page.

You mentioned you're printing a page size of A4. In order to print all the way to the edge (a full bleed), you won't be able to do it with your printer. (You could print an A5 sheet and trim the edges, but that would be a few mm smaller, won't it?) Best of luck.

Many thanks for the help. Much Obliged
