Well I just started printing pics with QImage. The only thing that bugs me is that none of them go all the way to the edge of the 4x6 print card. I have used up several papers trying different settings to get them to fit exactly as I see them on the screen. And the only time that I have gotten a borederless photo it cut off a bunch of my pic. Can anyone tell me the right settings to use?

Thanks!

You need to: 1. Be sure that your printer is capable of borderless printing and 2. Select that option in the printer driver as well as Qimage.

The printer is a PIXMA 4000 and it can do borderless prints. Where do I pick the option for borderless in Qimage? I have found it in the print drivers but that always cut out a bunch of my picture.

On the right side of the Qimage work space, in Prints, click on Custom.

I'm afrade that didn't work either... :( Maybe it isn't possiable to get it exactly how I want it to be. Here is what I am getting when setting Qimage and print driver to BORDERLESS settings.

Are you sure that the dimensions of your border + picture are not larger then the paper you are using? What do you see in the Qimage Preview Window? Do you have Qimage set to not automatically crop to size?
