Hello,

I have tried everything including setting all bleeds, slugs and margins to zero. I have gone into print preferences and selected borderless. I have been in tech support with Epson and they say the printer supports borderless. Still no solution. Please help!

Is the printer leaving (unprinted) white margins - not printing the outer rim of the page - or scaling the page down to fit within margins?

I know nothing about this printer, but my impression has always been printing borderless involved scaling the page content UP rather than down so it bleeds what was originally at the page edge and losing just a bit of content.

I think we need some clarification, as requested from the OP.

Some printer (drivers) might do that, but my experience is that borderless==photo printing and for stock of standard photo sizes, printing was 1:1.

 

It may be that this printer and others like it only do borderless up to, say, 8x10, and does not allow it on larger sheets.

Can you show us a picture of what you get from your printer? Just in case...

Have you tried printing from a PDF?

Yes, I think I did that already. I'll try it again but doubtful it will work
