Best way to print borderless 11x14

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

I have a canon i9900. I have 11x17 paper. To print borderless 11x14 which
is best:

1. Cut paper to 11x14. Crop photo with pse (elements) to 11x14. Load
paper. Select borderless with printer software. Then print borderless
11x14

2. Leave paper 11x17. Crop photo with pse to 11x14. Load paper. Select
borderless. Print photo. Then cut with paper cutter to desired size which
is 11x14. (cut white portion off).

On the same note, I'm curious why,when I crop with pse to 8.5x11 and print
on 8.5x11 paper, and forget to select borderless with canon printer
software, the resulting image is substantially less than 8.5 x 11. Anyone
know why this is? Also how does borderless printer know how to avoid
printing ink onto plastic parts/rollers, just beyond the edge of the photo?

The 1280 is dye based the 2200 is pigment based. The real issue is what
driver settings for the specific ink/paper combinations. The Epson drivers
have this built in. If you are using Color Matching in your printing make
sure you get the proper paper profiles.
