About Borderless Printing

•

When performing borderless printing on paper where the ink does not dry well, the cutter unit may leave scratches
where it touches the printed surface, or may not cut correctly. In this kind of situation, configure the amount of time
to wait for the ink to dry after printing using 

Drying Time

 in the 

Roll Paper Settings

 dialog box.

Alternatively, if the paper cannot be cut well by the cutter, set the 

Automatic Cutting Settings

 to 

User Cut

 in the

Roll Paper Settings

 dialog box, and cut the roll paper using scissors, etc.

About the Print Quality

If the amount of ink used is too much, wrinkles may appear and the ink may bleed in the printed material. Further-
more, if the amount of ink used is too little, color production may be poor and lines may become scratched. In this

•

If horizontal bands appear even after executing 

Adj. Fine Feed

, refer to "Banding in different colors occurs" in "Trouble-

shooting". 

 (See "Banding in different colors occurs.")

→P.894

•

If printed sheets are affected by banding in different colors toward the end of the sheet (about 20–30 mm from the
edge), try adjusting the feed amount of the trailing edge of sheets. 

 (See "Adjusting Color on the Trailing Edge of

Sheets.")

→P.743

•

as the basis for the custom paper in the

 dialog box.

•

If there is no luster in printed material, set the paper used as the basis for the custom paper to a paper that uses
photo ink as the Black ink.

ware. For details on how to specify the ICC color profile in the printer driver, 

see "Matching Sheet ."
