When I plan to print borderless on my Pro 3880, I make (I think) a correct selection in menu "Print" and in "Page Set up" (borderless) and even check this setting in "Printer settings" where I get confirmation that the setting is okay.
In "Image Settings" I check "Zoom to fill" and in "Layout" set all 4 margins to 0,00mm
but again and again eventually I still get small borders around the printed photo.

What am I doing incorrectly?
Thanks for help!
Harry

Hi Harry,
There is a limit to which size of paper you can use for borderless, a lot of user defined sizes won’t work...

See this list below...

If you want a borderless print the image size must be at least as big as the paper size. I suspect that when you check "Zoom to fill" the image will be re-sized to fit the normal printable area of the paper - that is it will leave a 3mm border. Borderless printing will retain this 3mm border. I think you need to manually re-size to make the image at least as big as the paper.
