Card Help » Setup Home » Borderless 7x10 Card Printing
NOTE! This tutorial cannot be used with Epson R1800 or R2400. A glitch in the software/hardware prevents you from printing a full borderless image.
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 1280, or Canon i9900. 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. |

Printing In the printer properties, set your paper size to 5x7 Choose the borderless printing option Orientation Landscape for a card that opens from bottom to top Portrait for a card that opens like a book.

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. |
