3-30 Edge-to-Edge Printing
Edge-to-Edge Printing On rigid media, the printer can print up to the leading, right,
and left edges when you set the margins to 0.
◆ Tape the platen under the left and right edges of the media
to catch any oversprayed ink. Use a colored tape to allow the
printer to find the media edges. A piece of media printed
with a solid color also works for this purpose.
◆ Use the head height gauge to set the printheads to the stan-
dard height over the media. This will minimize ink overspray.
◆ From Menu > Printer Settings > Margin Settings > Right
and Left Margin, Leading Margin, set the margins to 0.
Optionally, you can set an Overprint distance to print past
the edge.
◆ If you set the Trailing Margin to 0 and want to print to the
trailing edge, you must attach a trailer of the same media to
the trailing edge so the pinch rollers can feed the media all
the way past the print zone.
◆ From Menu > Printer Settings > Print Position, center the
image on the media.
◆ Enlarge the image slightly from the application or RIP if nec-
essary to avoid an unprinted border.
◆ For further detailed tips and tricks for printing edge-to-edge,
overprinting, double-sided printing, and more with rigid
media, refer to Tech Note #2730, “Straight-Through Paper
Path: A Handbook for Users.”
