![]() So you can't fix it, because it isn't broken. The pixel world likes, just like I do, the number 2 by default, the rest is just "smoothing" it over. This isn't exactly a problem for fonts and vector graphics, but it wreaks havoc in the pixel world. If you do the math you get a weird number of probably 101.5% of the original version (I can't say for sure, I'm not very good at math if it isn't divided by two :) So most will have to "fit to paper" margins (the default OS X behaviour, minified to around 98% zoom) then enable borderless mode on the printer which in turn magnifies the minified 98% zoom version to 103%. You can do it, but people printing it at 100% zoom will have the content trimmed off by the printer, which, as I've described, can't print to the edge. The reason it apparently refuses to produce borderless prints is that it's actually not possible (in the real world). Here is an HP 2800dtn doing so (just hover over the paper size for a while and it will appear). Unbeknownst to most is the fact that every printer out there actually reports the margins within it can print for every paper size it supports. We will be talking about the black line, called the border, and it's two siblings "margin" and "padding". The page you want to print is usually wrapped in a tag of some sort, either a div with and id or a class like this: lots of content The Box models the behaviour of almost every element in CSS. To fully understand this problem one must be acquainted with the "Box". Onwards to the problem of CSS borderless prints: To fix this problem entirely, "bleed" is used, where you actually design everything to a slightly larger paper which is cut to size afterwards. Good large format printers have a sensor to detect paper width but it's used to adjust the paper slightly because the length, 50 to 150m per roll, can cause even a 0,1mm misalignment to become a problem and cause paper jams. Printing into thin air is bad, can cause smudges in the long term and should be avoided, so the amount of printing over the edge must be adjusted to a minimum. The reason is that most printer don't have a sensor to determine where the paper actually is, it presumes paper is there and for most prints it doesn't matter if it's 0,5mm off or even 1mm.įor borderless it matters because the print comes out with a white (paper) border around it.įor this reason 95% of printers out there mimic this "borderless" print by actually running ink into thin air for a little bit just so the paper is covered all the way to the edge. Most just enlarge the print a bit so it stretches beyond the actual page and, usually, give you a slider to adjust that amount. ![]() Very few printers can "actually" print borderless prints even if they say they do. To correctly answer the question you need to understand the problem first.
