Epson R800 and borderless prints?

[Dave javea]

I've just bought an Epson R800 and a pack of ultra glossy photo paper 13x18cm (5x7 inch).

I've tried so many settings and print sizes to get the prints border-less but have had no joy.

Im printing from Aperture on a Mac. I've cropped the image to the correct ratio but still get white borders on my prints.
Can anyone give me any advise on how they are printing border-less.

Many thanks.

Dave

I no longer have an R800 and was using it on a PC, but you need to check that the "Borderless" box in the printer driver is ticked before printing.

Thanks Chris.

There is no borderless box to check in the settings.

I have an R800. Used it for ages on a PC with Adobe Elements, and borderless was no problem.

Since switching to mac/aperture, I can't get borderless either. when I first did the install, 3 mos ago, I researched the problem and found others had the same problem, and I found no solution.

Stumbled on your message doing my follow up research... so I can validate the problem but have no answer for you.

let me know if you find one!

(I have an R1800 which is essentially a wide-carriage version of the R800. However, the driver may or may not have a similar interface).

Unlike the Windows driver, the Mac OS X driver does not have a separate checkbox for borderless. Instead, when you select the paper size, there are sub-options such as "5 x 7 in", "5 x 7 in (Sheet Feeder - Borderless)" that you need to select.
