EPSON Stylus Pro 7600/9600 Series
Product(s):
No Margin and Borderless Printing
Subject:
This bulletin is provided for assistance on how to create and print a borderless document on the EPSON Stylus
Pro 7600 and EPSON Stylus Pro 7600 Inkjet printers. There are two aspects to this new feature: "No Margin",
which allows the image to bleed off the left and right side of the page on sheet or roll media, and "Borderless"
which is a true 4 sided page using "No Margin" and Auto Cut on roll media only.
Important Information regarding Borderless Printing:
1. No Margin and Borderless printing are functions of the printer's hardware in combination with the EPSON
standard software drivers for MAC and PC. The EPSON Fiery Spark Professional 2.01 PostScript RIP
currently does not support the No Margin or Borderless printing feature. If you are using a non-Epson RIP
please contact that manufacturer directly regarding whether this feature is implemented and it's use.
2. No margin and borderless printing are implemented for specific media widths only because of the position
of the ink pads installed in the printer. If the No Margins option in the software driver is not selectable
(grayed-out), this means the feature is not available for the media width specified. The table below details
the supported media widths:
EPSON Stylus Pro 7600 (24" width maximum)
EPSON Stylus Pro 9600 (44" width maximum)
210mm
8"
(8.27")
NOTE: Attempting to print on media other than the widths listed above will result in a Reload
Paper error message on the printers control panel. EPSON 22" media is not supported for No
margin or borderless printing.
3. Borderless printing requires the use roll media and the printer's internal cutter. When choosing the
following EPSON Genuine roll medias in the EPSON driver, Auto Cut is automatically disabled (regardless
of control panel or driver selection) to prevent damage to the cutter. Damage may be due to: heavy
thickness, material type, or coating and can result in early failure of the cutter resulting in incomplete or
ragged cuts. (Cutter Blade re-order#: C12C815241). No margin printing is the only function supported for
these media types when using the appropriate widths.

4. Cut sheet media supports No Margin printing only (Left/Right).
5. The originating document needs to be created (or resized) by at least 1/4" (.25 inches) over the desired
finished dimensions. For No Margin printing add 1/4" to just the width. For Borderless printing add 1/4" to
the width and height.
