Borderless Printing

NN889346
Need your help for a very simple Problem. How do you print a capture without any border's? Appreciate your inputs.
I am using C1 V8

    Here's what I do on the Mac:

    Select the printer first

    Select the paper - A3, A4 will then have a variety of options for both feeder and borderless options corresponding to what your printer can do

    Adjust margins for some reason it defaults to 6 / 6 / 6 / 14 for me. You could set them to all zero. As it happens on my Epson 3880 that throws away a bit too much image and I find if I set the margins to 2.5 it will still be borderless but get more of my image.

    If using A-series paper you'll want a circa 5x7 crop

    This has stopped working for me! I now get a circa 3-mm margin with the settings that have produced borderless prints for donkeys ages.

    Anything changed David?

    Printer? Printer driver? Version of various software?

    Size of paper ?

    Any thing at all?

    Nothing at all. It has now, for reasons of its own, reverted to printing borderless. I think the answer is to do what I suspect everyone else does and print via Affinity or its Adobe equivalent.

    As far as I know all that C1 does after setting borders and similar is interface to the printer driver to let it take control of where it sprays the ink.

    If anything changes - especially temporarily - it is likely just some sort of glitch in the information sharing and passing between the applications involved - so in this case the computer OS, the printer driver and any sub-programs it might be using and Capture One.

    Had you used the printer for anything else just before it started to omit the full borderless print?

    I tend to print sporadically and of course it went bonkers on a high-profile job. Yes, you're right about information passing - for example to change from one flavour of A4 to another I find that you need to change to another paper size altogether and then reselect.

    Anyway, sorted thx

    Glad you are up and running again David.

    I tend to print sporadically too.

    C1 works quite well with my Canon printer although the printer's edge to edge capability specifically overprints by a couple of mm and so I don't use it much.

    With another application the printer settings only worked the first time after driver installation. After that the results in terms of everything were just random, especially if any zoom functionality no matter how tiny was deployed by specified setting or just be printer driver operation.

    Setting the exact size to be printed in pixels usually worked but not to place the print accurately within the margins.

    Working in C1 is a dream compared to that even if strange things may happen from time to time. That said it's not exactly a new printer ....

    I've got to the bottom of this. The problem is that the paper size you set in Print, Printer, Page Setup may or may not get into the Capture One system. If you select an A4 Borderless option you then need to go and look at Margins and Cell Height and Width and check that it all adds up to 220x307mm; if it doesn't, change paper size to A3; then back to A4 and see if it works.
