[ms office - 2019] Printing a page with Full Colour to all edges

[kostascoffee]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to print a page out with full colour block edge to edge without the colour cutting out on the edges.

I have tried pretty much everything at this point and nothing seems to work.

 

Does anyone have a solution to this or know what would cause it to do this?

 

Many Thanks,

Stam

You would need a printer that can support it - not many do, and those that do often don't do it very well, or print on a larger sheet and cut it down (this is how its done professionally).

Sounds logical and like the right thing that would be the limiting factor!

 

Thank you!

Most laser printers don't offer it because you get really poor quality at the edges (perpendicular to the paper feed path) due to the toner not adhering to those edges very well, but sometimes you can get edge to edge on the leading / trailing edges. The printers don't like it because in order to get it onto the very edge that assumes some will spill over causing mess and blockages inside the engine; plus it's costly and wasteful. The same applies to inkjet devices. If you log into the web server on the device as admin sometimes there is a configuration option for edge-to-edge, and you might have to go into a driver setting too in order to access it, but I would suggest only playing with this rather than leaving it on! Also if the device supports it then you're better with a PostScript driver rather than a PCL6 one as they are better for addressing the whole page (PCL6 drivers tend to follow the convention of their PCL5 predecessors - albeit completely different print language - in having approx. 1/2" non-printable area around all edges.)
