Hello,

The below is a copy and pasted in section from other posts that I have made about priniting on 12X12 paper. I have a wide format Canon, but I use Epson's "12X12" paper.

too have a 13X17 Canon printer and I use photoshop cs, printing on Epson's (supposed) 12X12 Matte scrapbooking paper. You can not actually print true borderless 12x12 layouts as Canon's printing software (I can't remember its name) does not come with 12X12 as a preset borderless size. (I have already emailed them to consider adding it in their next version of the software. Maybe you would like to do the same so that they know it is a size desired by many.) Another issue is that Epson's 12X12 paper is really not 12X12, but 11.6 X 11.6. The closet I have come to true borderless printouts that don't cut off my LO's is to do the following. I make certain that the paper size is set for 11.6 X 11.6. I then resize my LO's to 11.6 X 11.6 from 12X12, the difference is so minor that my LO's are not distorted by the resizing. Then in photoshop when I go to print, even though I can leave the percentage at 100%, since I have already resized the LO and set the paper size to 11.6, I stil check off the box for shrink to fit, this results in the LO being printed at 97.something percent and the whole LO is printed.

I still end up with prints that are not borderless, but when I truly want borderless, I just cut the LO's with a cutter I have that comes with different decorative blades so the edges look fantastic. I assume that if you really want 12X12 and absolutely no hassle, you could print out a 12X12 LO, at 100%, on 13X19 papper and just cut off the excess.

Hope this helps.
