Can You Print to the Edge of the Paper?

Synthetic preparation worksheet v1 — 25 October 2026. Not a physical sample, app screenshot, certification or fulfilled order.

Three routes to the edge

A white margin is acceptable → use ordinary document output and preserve content within the printable area.

The exact device supports borderless output for this paper and size → follow that device specification and check whether it enlarges or crops the image. Do not infer support from a missing margin on screen.

A trimmed finished piece is required → agree oversized printing, bleed and cutting with the supplier. The finished dimensions must still be correct after trimming.

Why zooming is not a safe substitute

Hypothetical example: enlarge a 100 mm-wide design to 104 mm and crop back to 100 mm, centred. You lose 2 mm from each side of the enlarged design. A thin border or edge-aligned logo may disappear or become uneven.

Ask whether the requirement is no visible white edge, exact finished size, or both. Enlarging until the background reaches the paper edge does not prove either requirement has been met.
