how do i print a photo without borders?

[pagin8r]

I am using 4x6 paper and want to print a photo edge to edge without white borders. Is this possible?

Hi pagin8r,

Depends on the printer. What printer are you using?

I am using the HP Deskjet 3050

Hi pagin8r,

You will find the option to print borderless in the Advanced tab of the printer preferences.

To print a photo on photo paper:
1. Make sure the output tray is open.
2. Remove all paper from the input tray, and then load the photo paper with side to be
printed on facing up.

NOTE: If the photo paper you are using has perforated tabs, load photo paper
so that tabs are on top.

3. On the File menu in your software application, click Print.
4. Make sure the product is the selected printer.

5. Click the button that opens the Properties dialog box. Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.
6. Select the appropriate options.
• On Layout tab select Portrait or Landscape orientation.
• On Paper/Quality tab select the appropriate paper size and paper type from the
Paper Size and Media drop-down lists.
• Click Advanced to select the appropriate output quality from the Printer
Features list.

NOTE: For maximum dpi resolution, go to the Paper/Quality tab and select
Photo Paper, Best Quality from the Media drop-down list. Make sure you are
printing in color. Then go to the Advanced tab and select Yes from the Print in
Max DPI drop-down list. For more information, see Print using the maximum
dpi.

7. Click OK to return to the Properties dialog box.
8. Click OK, and then click Print or OK in the Print dialog box.

NOTE: Do not leave unused photo paper in the input tray. The paper might start to
curl, which could reduce the quality of your printout. Photo paper should be flat before
printing.

I have tried everything you suggested and I still have borders when I print. There doesn't seem to be any option/preference/etc for edge-to-edge printing.

Hi Page. If you're using HP Photo Creations to print your photos, select "Best fit full page" in the print window. The program is a free download at www.hp.com/go/hppc. Hope this helps, RocketLife

Hi pagin8r,

Under the print preferences is an advanced button. Press the advanced button and you can select borderless within this menu.

Here is a screen shot of what I see when I follow your directions. I am missing where the no borders option is. What am I doing wrong???

Hi pagin8r,

Sorry i was unable to download and view the attached picture. Below is a screenshot showing how you go into the advanced button, and select the borderless from the Document Options.

Here is a smaller file, maybe you can open this.

Pleas consider, you are showing me information for the 7510 Series.

Re-read my messages and you will see I have the 3050.

Still offering me the same advice??
