The following is a hack to allow you to print 11x14 borderless on your Canon printer. Please follow the instructions carefully for best results. Please remember, this is a hack (cheat). If you follow the directions step-by-step and still have problems, there are no extra hints or tips we can give.

Step 1

Choose an image and go to the Print module

Step 2

Click Page Setup in the lower left corner of your screen.

• Set the Format For drop down to your printer model.
• Using the Paper Size drop down, select the Tabloid (borderless) size
• Set the orientation to match that of your image

Step 3

Back in Lightroom, locate the Layout menu on the right side of your screen. Set the following:

• Margin Bottom - 3 inches
• Other Margins - 0 inches
• Cell Size Height - 14 inches
• Cell Size Width - 11 inches

The preview should now look like this. In some cases, there may be a small white stripe at the end of your print. It should be no larger than 1/8" of unprinted area. You may experiement with the margin and cell sizes if you want to try and avoid the issue.

Step 4

Click Print Settings on the lower left of your screen.

• Go to the Borderless Extension tab. Set the amount to Max.
• Set your media type, print quality and click Print

When you are satisfied all setting are correct, load some 11x14 paper into your printer and click Print on the lower right side of your screen.

Provided you followed the above directions, you should now have a (very nearly) borderless 11x14 print!
