Printing Borderless Photos

You can print your photos with no margins, extending the
image all the way to the edges of the page.
Although borderless printing is a bit slower, you get beautiful
snapshots and enlargements, without trimming, on these
papers and sizes:

As with traditional photos, EPSON recommends proper care
that will minimize color changes and lengthen display life:
❏ Frame prints under glass or a protective plastic sleeve to
protect them from atmospheric contaminants like
humidity, smoke, and high levels of ozone.
❏ As with all photographs, keep your prints away from direct
sunlight.
❏ For proper storage, keep your prints in a photo album or
plastic photo storage box in acid-free, archival sleeves
commonly available from most camera stores.
❏ Always keep unused paper in the original package.
