angelfire Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Hi, I have been trying to print my project at home in a HP Envy printer and keep getting white borders. I have been looking through the forum to find my answer and I have tried various things e.g. made sure x,y, had whole pixels, made sure the print dialogue is 100%, but it is something that I feel I may have set up wrong in the software. I have tried in Publisher and Designer and have the same problem. I have set up a 3mm bleed. I have tried setting margins and not setting margins even though I thought it wouldn't make a difference! I am using a MacBook and V2 of affinity. I am printing from an artboard I am a complete newbie to this software so the language is new to me so please reply as if I do not know anything please!

walt.farrell Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. If you're pringing on a home printer, using the proper size paper, I don't think you should have Bleed specified. I think that's only used for professional printing when the printing happens on larger-than-needed sheets, which are trimmed after printing.

Komatös Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Hi @angelfire The printer must support borderless printing. This must be set in the printer's settings dialog. It should also be noted that most borderless printers are limited to certain paper formats. Usually A4/Letter and most common photo formats.

Well there are a bunch of those Envy printer models with different options, so a concrete model number would be more helpful here to know.
