How Get Pro-1 Uniform Border 8x10 print?

KenO

Received my "Try My Photo" Pro-1 Print and immediately noticed the border was not uniform. The top was 23mm, bottom 22.5mm, left side 29mm, and right side 30mm.

 

A difference of 1mm is not a problem, it is the ~ 8mm difference between the top & bottom and sides.

 

Please tell me how I must crop the photo to get a uniform border 8x10 print.

 

Thanks

"Unfortunately the Pro-1 does not allow borderless printing on "art paper""

 

This is true.  But it does not mean you have to use the "Art" paper profile.  Others may work.

What size paper are you printing your 8x10s on?

Hi ebiggs1,

 

"What size paper are you printing your 8x10s on?"  The 8x10 art paper provided by "Try My Photo".

 

As mentioned in original post, I decided use "Try My Photo"  http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/production/products?pageKeyCode=pressreldetail&docId=0901e0248004d2ba  to check a photo on "art paper".  

 

Unfortunately the Pro-1 does not allow borderless printing on "art paper"

 

Since posting did some searching and found: "When I looked at the Canon 9500 Mk2 printer, the biggest issue for me was the huge top and bottom margins imposed on some media types. Unfortunately this feature persists into the PRO-1.

Given that I like printing some of my B&W images on cotton rag papers, the mandatory 35mm margins are most unwelcome.  Look at how much of the page below is truncated on an A3 sized print - it makes printing on small paper sizes (say cards) completely impractical, if you use good quality art paper."

If you check the photo mentioned it has the non uniform border I mentioned.
