I'm trying to print out an 8.5x11 label without having a white border when I print

Trying to print a label with a grey border around it... not white and everytime i save it to print it has a small grey border and then still has a white border around it.

Does your printer support edge to edge printing?

We are not 100% sure... this label is for a warehouse that ships out mass orders. Is there a way to save it so that theres no border????

If your file has a gray border to the edge of the document, your file should be ok.

After that its up to the printer if you get a white border or not.

If the warehouse printers do not support edge-to-edge printing, then you will have a white border no matter what you do because the printer will not physically print ink/toner on those edges.

The other method is to use a commercial printer to print blank label templates with edge-to-edge printing so you gray border is in place before the warehouse prints their order information.

When you go to print do not click "fit to print area" leave it set to 100%.

@Jordan28018550p7rn Did you mean that you wish to actually print a grey border around the label?

If so you'll need to add a grey border in Photoshop (Image/ canvas size [as needed], set the grey colour),

then print to a piece of paper big enough to fit the label and border without cropping during print and trim it afterwards. 

I hope this helps

okay... because these are large production orders we aren't able to individually trim afterwards because the volume is so large.. if we cant do this is there any other way?

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

Print the template/gray border art in bulk by a commercial printer that can handle producing the edge-to-edge/bleed label.

Then have the warehouse print the variable text with the production orders.

It's a pretty common practice in situations like this.

Printing individual labels with background artwork during the production order is impractical in general and you'll pay more for ink/toner instead of bulk printing templates.
