Fading occurs on the edges of a photo

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 in the opposite direction of the curl until the paper lies flat. If the problem persists, then use photo paper that is not curled.

For instructions about preventing photo paper from curling, see Store and handle photo paper.

Photo has an unwanted border

Troubleshooting

If the printout has an unwanted border, try the following solutions:

Align the print cartridges.

Open the Printer Properties dialog box, click the Features tab, and verify that the selected paper size matches both the paper size that the photo is formatted for and the size of the paper that is loaded in the printer.

Verify that no problem exists with the source image. For example, if you are printing a scanned image, verify that the image was not crooked when it was scanned.

Verify that the software application you are using supports borderless printing.
