HELP NEEDED - Borderless printing on A4

[vermicelli]

Hello, I'm wondering if someone can help me out and give me some proper advice. Forgive me if I've gone totally the wrong way about this.

I'm trying to print four A6 size postcards on one A4. I've designed the postcards in photoshop sized (width) 105mm and (height) 148mm at 300dpi.

I then save the file to a PDF then open it up in preview on Mac. I set the paper size to A4 borderless (210 x 297) then select 4 copies per page.

(As shown here)

However, when printing a test run, it is cut away (cropped) from the top and the bottom of the page.

(There should be a line at both the top and the bottom of the page as seen in the preview mode above before printing)

Logically thinking, I want to save on paper by printing four A6 designs on one A4 and guillotining the design to make four equal A6 postcards with no paper waste and ideally no margins.

If anyone could help I'd massively appreciate it. Maybe there's an easier way to do this? I'm a total novice.

Thank you for your time.

Note - I'm using a Canon Pixma ix6850

Hi vermicelli,

A certain amount of cropping is necessary when printing borderless, as the image will extend slightly beyond the paper,  You can, however adjust the amount of the extension.  I have included full information HERE.
