New mg7120 won't print borderless correctly

hedonia — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 00:00:23 GMT

Hello -

My Canon Pixma 5200 series printer died so I just purchased an MG7120. I loaded 5x7 cardstock in the upper cartridge (the same stuff I've used for years) and tried to print out a borderless 5x7 card for a client. I used the exact same photoshop settings (high quality, borderless) as I always have sucessfully used.

The new printer is printing with a 1/4 inch white border on the bottom. I tried adjusting the slider on the cartridge, I tried loading only one sheet a time, I tried 'scale to fit media' and NOT using 'scale to fit media'. No matter what I do, it prints with a white border at the bottom and only the bottom.

I also tried re-aligning the print head using the special sheet that came with the printer, but it's still having the same problem. Help please!! I bought this because my other one died and now I still can't print this order... very upsetting. I appreciate any help.
