richard_freedman1 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 How is it that my Epson 1280 will only do a borderless print with papers that they claim to be "borderless" papers? Does this mean that if I chop an 8 1/2 X 11 sheet down to 8x10, that the machine can sense that it's actually the wrong paper, and won't give me a borderless print?

beauh44 Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Hi Richard, This is just a guess, but when a printer makes a borderless print, there's a certain amount of over-spray involved. I suspect some papers absorb better than others and the ones that don't absorb well could conceivably cause more ink to build up inside your printer. FWIW, I've read some people's opinion that it's best to avoid borderless prints altogether, even when the printer supports it, because of waste and possible ink build-up. They say chop it later with a cutting board, which is what I do. Best wishes . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chip Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Richard, I'm printing borderless prints with all sizes on my 1280. I just check the borderless box, it seems to work fine with the Epson papers I'm using (including the 8.5x11 Premium Glossy Photo Paper I use), even though a few are not marked as borderless.
