How do I print a picture on a full page of paper, like a magazine cover? -

I m doing a magazine project for school, and we re supposed to make our own personalized magazine cover. That part is easy, but I m not sure how to make my printer print on the full page, like a normal magazine cover. Can anyone help me, please?

Most photo inkjet printers will print edge-to-edge but that is usually limited to a 4x6 inch print. I don t know of any printers off-hand that will print edge-to-edge on standard size paper. Most all magazines are printed on larger paper and trimmed to size and if you compare most magazines to a standard size 8.5 x 11 inch paper you ll see the magazine is smaller. This is the best I think you could do as well by printing on regular paper with the margins set to the minimum values and then trim it to a smaller size to crop the page to the image. Otherwise you would have to print on larger size paper like 11 x 17 inch (tabloid size) paper and trim to size as well. I would imagine your teacher does not expect a perfect edge-to-edge print for your project, but a nice magazine type layout on normal paper (maybe set to minimum margins) would be fine and what everyone else is going to do as well, but I don t know your teacher or the exact specs your teacher provided to you. Sometimes students tend to over-think things when they re not necessary. Best of luck.

Select to print the picture and press print. Usually a menu of sizes then appears by the side. There is usually a full size page option so if you set the paper size to A4 then select the full page option then it should fit. If using Vistas then there is an option on the box below where the picture appears that you click to make the picture fit the whole page instead of leaving a little white boarder around it.
