\\prob an amatuer question for ye guys but here soes...

Hi, if anyone can help me out with this one I'd appreciate it.I have a lot of prints that I print frame and sell. Most often I print from the printer photo wizard, trouble is i can only print a jpeg and not a psd file at 300dpi.

I try to print from photoshop but im always left with a 5 - 6 mm border whitespace. I want to know how to print from photoshop at 300dpi directly to the printer and use all the A4 page? I've tried bleeding etc but as printing isn't my thing i'm probably not doing it correctly.

I print on to high gloss paper which id fine for what i do.


\\ Thanks ... Jer.

Hmm I never print direct from PS so I don't know what is going on here.

Borderless printing is a feature of the printer/print driver, nothing to really do with PS. Why it would print jpg fine and not PSDs, I don't know.

You are printing the JPGs from PS aren't you?

I use InDesign for layout and printing as it interfaces better with the RIP that we use with our equipment.

No, i'm printing the jpegs from the printer control panel(canon easy photo print), and it creates borserless a4 prints.

Thanx for the reply, thought i could print from ps....gotta look up InDesign!!

You can print from PS it's just that I don't/can't for the work that I do.

Check the print driver settings, there is probably a setting for borderless printing in the options, it won't be a PS setting.

More than likely if you tried printing it from InDesign you would have the same problem.

Worst case scenario you can just save the flattened psd file as a high quality (not a save for web jpg but an actual 300DPI JPG) and print from your otehr software that allows you to do so...perhaps it allows to print from a tiff file too...that would be even better...anyways Freaky is the guru, and I am only offering a stop gap measure.

You mean using one of these?

I found this on Canon Japan's website:

For the 300dpi file, my guess is that the file is simply too large for the printer.
