Borderless printing not available with PIXMA IX6850

[Lauriane]

Hi,

I just bought the Canon Pixma IX6850 and I am currently trying to print borderless in A4 format.

I draw on Procreate, then import my illustration to Affinity to print it. I am using ColorSync color matching with the Canon IX6850 series MP2 for a PPD matte photo paper (210gsm) which seemed to be the most appropriate ICC as there is no ICC provided by PPD. 
I do see a « Borderless printing » setting but it is grey and I cannot touch it, no matter what other settings I choose (different paper type, Canon color matching instead of ColorSync,…). 
Can someone explain why I cannot change this borderless printing setting ? 

thanks a lot !!

Greetings,

It might have to do with the media type you have selected.

Oh right, I didn’t see that « A4 borderless » was a different option in the size settings ! Thank you !
