3-38 Edge-to-Edge Printing
Edge-to-Edge Printing The printer can print up to or past the edges of rigid media. This
provides the look of a “full-bleed” print without trimming the
media. For best results, follow these guidelines.

set of tips and techniques for printing on rigid
media, including edge-to-edge and double-sided
printing. See the MacDermid ColorSpan web site, or

Document, Application,
and RIP Settings
◆ To ensure that the printer will print past the edges of the
media, design or enlarge the job slightly larger than the
media. For example, if the media is 32 inches wide, set an
Overprint distance of 0.125 inches (see Menu > Printer Set-
tings > Margin Settings) and size the document to 32.25
inches wide.
◆ For images with a special detail at the edge of the page,
such as a border, make the border line thicker than usual to
extend past the edges of the page.
