Printing borderless

Borderless printing lets you print to the edges of certain paper types and a range of standard
paper sizes from A6 (105 by 148 mm) to A3 (297 by 420 mm). The printer can also print on
4-by-6 inch photo paper.

If you are printing photos, you can enhance them by printing in six-ink color printing mode. See

“Printing with six-ink color”

.
