Printing Area, Borderless Printing | Canon iP3300 specs

Printing Area

To ensure the best print quality, the printer allows a margin along each edge of media. The actual printable area will be the area inside these margins.

Note

Borderless Printing

By selecting Borderless Printing on the printer driver, you can make prints with no margins.

For Borderless Printing, use the following paper.

-Photo Paper Pro PR-101

-Glossy Photo Paper GP-401 / Glossy Photo Paper "Everyday Use" GP-501

-Photo Paper Plus Glossy PP-101

-Photo Paper Plus Double Sided PP-101D

-Photo Paper Plus Semi-glossSG-101,SG-201

-Matte Photo Paper MP-101

Performing Borderless Printing on any other type of paper may substantially reduce printing quality and/or result in printouts with altered color hues.

Borderless Printing on plain paper may result in printouts with reduced quality. Use them only for test printing. You cannot perform Borderless Printing when printing on plain paper from a PictBridge compliant device.

Depending on the type of paper, Borderless Printing may reduce the print quality at the top and bottom edges of the paper or cause these parts to become smudged.

Recommended printing area	Canon recommends that
(dark blue):	you print within this area.
