10.7 Borderless printing problems

Verify that the paper size that is specified in the Paper size drop-down list on the Printing Shortcuts tab matches the size of the paper that is loaded in the paper tray.

Select the appropriate paper type in the Paper type drop-down list on the Printing Shortcuts tab.

If printing in grayscale, select High quality under Print in grayscale on the Color tab.

Do not print borderless documents in ink-backup mode. Always have two print cartridges installed in the printer.

Edge of the photograph is faded

Verify that the photo paper is not curled. If the photo paper is curled, place the paper in a plastic bag and gently bend it the opposite direction of the curl until the paper lies flat. If the problem persists, use photo paper that is not curled.

For instructions about preventing photo paper from curling, see the photo paper storage page.
