Moab Support Forum > EPSON 2880 - Can't print full bleed

i am using the MOAB Lasal Photo Matte 235 gsm paper 11x14 ( scored +double sided)
while i'm printing on my new epson 2880 printer ( with the appropriate driver) i
am repeatedly getting a .25" white border on all my prints.
i've scoured through the forums and can't seem to figure out how to eliminate this border and achieve a truly full bleed print for my portfolio.

i am printing all my left facing pages as is. my images for right facing pages i am flipping horizontally and vertically in photoshop before printing in order to insure that the pages meet up correctly once bound.

double page spreads are all mis-aligned because of the border appearing at the bottom of my left facing pages and on he top of all my right facing pages.

can you please advise me on what adjustments need to be made. i have a feeling this is
a photoshop related issue.

How are you printing your images though photoshop? Have you adjusted the bleed settings in the print window? Also is the paper set to a borderless with regards to the media size? Have you tried making a custome paper size that is 8.5x11 with no spacing for the borders? What OS are running on?

Have you found any resolve to this issue? I'm having the same issue, it seems to be a printer seeing that its a larger paper problem.

Use the 11x14 auto expand option in Photoshop. Unfortunately no bleeding can occur on the scored 8.5x11. Pina Zangaro already said it's not compatible with Epson printers even though the same exact scored paper will bleed for the 11x14 size.

Thanks Liz.
This seems to be a 2880 problem, It worked fine on my r1900 but not on the 2880. I've done about 18 prints with every variable auto expand, retain size called epson they think its because the printer is seeing a different size paper. I cut a piece down to exactly 11x14 and it worked fine with both borderless options. I even emailed Eli who started this thread and he did not find a way to make this work and just decided to trim off the 4mm border.
This has been a total waste of money in both paper and ink.
