3.

Complete the setup

16

Click Print.

When you execute print, the data is printed with the specified staple side and margin width.

Important

When borderless printing is enabled, Stapling Side and Margin appear grayed out and are unavailable.

17

Execute Borderless Printing

The borderless printing function allows you to print data without any margin by enlarging the data so that it extends slightly off the paper. In standard printing, margins are created around the document area. However, in borderless printing function, these margins are not created. When you want to print data such as a photo without providing any margin around it, set borderless printing.

The procedure for performing borderless printing is as follows:

Setting Borderless Printing

1.

Select the size of the paper for borderless printing

Select "XXX (borderless)" from the Paper Size in the Print Dialog

.

2.

Select Borderless Printing from the pop-up menu

3.

Adjust the amount of extension from the paper

If necessary, adjust the amount of extension using the Amount of Extension slider.

Moving the slider to the right increases the amount extending off the paper, and moving the slider to the left decreases the amount.

18

It is recommended to set the slider at the second position from the right for most cases.

Important

When the Amount of Extension slider is set to the rightmost position, the back side of the paper may become smudged.

4.

Complete the setup

Click Print.

When you execute print, the data is printed without any margins on the paper.

Important

Borderless printing only supports specific paper sizes. Make sure to select a paper size with the wording "(borderless)" from the Paper Size.

When borderless printing is enabled, Other Fine Art Paper, Envelope, High

Resolution Paper, and T-Shirt Transfers appear grayed out and are unavailable in

Media Type list of Quality & Media of the pop-up menu in the Print dialog.

Print quality may deteriorate or the sheet may be stained at the top and bottom depending on the type of paper used.

When the ratio of the height to the width differs from the image data, a portion of the image may not be printed depending on the size of the media used.

In this case, crop the image data with an application software according to the paper size.

When scaled printing or page layout printing is enabled, you cannot perform borderless printing.

Note

When Plain Paper is selected from the Media Type menu of the Quality & Media, borderless printing is not recommended.

19

Expanding the Range of the Document to Print

Setting a large amount of extension allows you to perform borderless printing with no problems. However, the portion of the document extending off the paper range will not be printed and for this reason, the subjects around the perimeter of a photo may not be printed.

Try borderless printing once. When you are not satisfied with the result of borderless printing, reduce the amount of extension. The extension amount decreases as the Amount

of Extension slider is moved to the left.

Important

When the amount of extension is decreased, an unexpected margin may be produced on the print, depending on the size of the paper.

Note

When the Amount of Extension slider is set to the leftmost position, image data will be printed in the full size. If you set this when printing the address side of a postcard, the postal code of the sender is printed in the correct position.

20

Scaling the Printing to Fit the Paper Size

The procedure for printing a document that is automatically enlarged or reduced to fit the page size to be used is as follows:

Optimal Photo Printing of Image Data

When people print images taken with digital cameras, they sometimes feel that the printed color tones differ from those of actual image or those displayed on the monitor.

To get the print results as close as possible to the desired color tones, you must select a printing method that is best suited to the application software used or to your purpose.

Color Management

Devices such as digital cameras, scanners, monitors, and printers handle color differently.

Color management (color matching) is a method that manages device-dependent "colors" as a common color space.

For Mac OS, a color management system called "ColorSync" is built into the operating system.

Adobe RGB and sRGB are popularly used as common color spaces. Adobe RGB has a wider color space than sRGB.

ICC profiles convert device-dependent "colors" into a common color space. By using an

ICC profile and carrying out color management, you can draw out the color space of the image data within the color reproduction area that the printer can express.

Selecting a Printing Method Suited to the Image Data

The recommended printing method depends on the color space (Adobe RGB or sRGB) of the image data or the application software to be used.

There are two typical printing methods.

Check the color space (Adobe RGB or sRGB) of the image data and the application software to be used, and then select the printing method suited to your purpose.

Adjusting Colors with the Printer Driver

Describes the procedure for printing by using the color correction function of the printer driver.

To print using Canon Digital Photo Color

The printer prints data with color tints that most people prefer, reproducing colors of the original image data and producing three-dimensional effects and high, sharp contrasts.

To print by directly applying editing and touch-up results of an application software

When printing the data, the printer brings out subtle color difference between dark and light areas, while leaving the darkest and lightest areas intact.

When printing the data, the printer applies fine adjustment results, such as brightness adjustments made with an application software.

42

Printing with ICC Profiles (Specifying an ICC Profile from the Application Software)

Describes the procedure for printing by using the color space of Adobe RGB or sRGB effectively.

You can print with a common color space by setting up the application software and the printer driver so that the color management matches the input ICC profile of the image data.

The method for setting up the printer driver differs depending on the application software to be used.

Printing with ICC Profiles (Specifying an ICC Profile from the Application Software)

When you print from Adobe Photoshop, Canon Digital Photo Professional, or any application software that can identify input ICC profiles and allows you to specify such profiles, printer uses the color management system (ColorSync) built-into Mac OS when printing. The printer prints the editing and touch-up results of the application software and effectively uses the color space of the input ICC profile specified in the image data.

To use this printing method, use your application software to select color management items and specify an input ICC profile and a printing ICC profile in the image data.

Even if you print using a printing ICC profile that you created yourself or one for special

Canon paper, be sure to select color management items from your application software.

For instructions on specifying an ICC profile with an application software program, refer to the user's manual of your application software.
