Home » Borderless 7x10 Card Printing
Beginning note: This process is definitely slower
than standard card printing, and demands an additional printing pass
through your printer.
It requires a 13" wide inkjet printer such as the Epson R1800
or Canon Pro9000. Not available with HP printers.
This tutorial covers printing the outside front
of a 7" x 10" sheet so that the front is borderless. You should review
our other
tutorials for how to setup the back and inside for printing.
In Photoshop or other software, open
your photo for the outside front of your card. It will need to
be 5" x 7" exactly.
The image at right represents a 5" wide x 7" high photo that will
go on a horizontal open card - one that opens like a book.
Note: To create a card that opens vertically, you will need a photo
that is 5" high x 7" wide. |

Set the borderless expansion to its minimal setting
This minimizes the chance ink will print over the fold line. Here are Epson and Canon screengrabs to help you find that setting.

Loading your paper
Put the paper in the printer long end down (opposite from how you
would normally put paper in the feed tray).
|

When you print, the printer
should bleed ink off the three exposed edges (top, right, and bottom)
of the right hand side of the paper on the right hand side of the
score.
Finished outside front of your
card is now complete.
