How do you print full-bleed, or near full bleed on a home printer? -

We have an office color laser printer and I m trying to eliminate the ugly margins. I m currently working with photoshop at 8x10 standard sizing....but I was wondering how I could print up to the size of the paper or closer than I am currently at.

The *only* way you can print bleed is by printing on a larger sheet, and then trimming down. This is true for any printer, even an offset press.

Print quot;Edge-to-Edgequot; or quot;Print-to-edgequot; The Hewlett-Packard Laserjet 81xx series is the last printer that my company owns that can -- in hardware --- do quot;print to edgequot; You need an older printer driver. Report Abuse

300 characters isn t enough to answer this. Look for the quot;Windows XP CD Driverquot; from a few years ago, if you have access to a printer that can, in hardware, do quot;print to edgequot; or quot;edge to edgequot; --- you need the old driver to get access to the feature. Report Abuse

Boarderless printing is actually a function of the printer unless that is an integrated feature of your printer which singe you are printing on a laser I highly doubt it, you will have to live with the margins. The margins are a barrier, laser printers will not print full bleed as it increases the chances (exponentially) that excess toner debris will get into the fuser.
