How to print borderless marketing materials

Print right to the edge of your posters and marketing materials to get that professional, print shop look.

Borderless printing lets you print to the edges of certain media types and a range of standard media sizes. Use this professional touch when creating a variety of high-impact marketing materials:

• Full-color, 4-fold brochures to promote your services.
• Stunning, wide format photos.
• 2-sided 8 ½" x 11" booklets: Impress clients and customers with presentation materials or full-color catalogs and coupon books you produce in-house.

And, when you use a wide format printer, like the HP Officejet 7500A Wide Format e-All-in-One, it’s a snap to create professional, borderless 13" x 19" posters for events or displays.

Step 4: To access more printer options, click the option that opens the printer Propertiesdialog box.

Step 5: Select Print Borderless from the Borderless Printingoption, then click OK

• Be sure to use Original HP inks, which are formulated to work with your HP printer and paper, ensuring fade resistance, bolder blacks, and more vibrant colors.

Keep materials neat

• Print only what you need to keep materials clean and information current.
• Get crisp folds using a bone folder or score paper with a butter knife before making the fold.
