- Printing Borderless Posters Filling the Entire Roll Paper Width
- Printing Without Borders on Three Sides

For details, see Using Variable Printing.
How Can I Print by Rotating Posters 90 Degrees?
To print filling the entire roll paper width, in the Paper Options screen, select Fit Long Side to Roll Width (for vertical posters) or Fit Short Side to Roll Width (for horizontal posters).
If the width or length is different from the roll paper width, it is not possible to print by rotating posters 90 degrees in the original scale.

Which Printers Can I Use?
Posters can be printed only on Canon printers and Océ printers that support PosterArtist.
When you use PRO-1000, PRO-500, or printers other than Canon imagePROGRAF series, the Paper Options screen setting method is different.
The printer to use for test printing can be specified in the Preferences dialog box.
How Can I Print on a Cut Sheet Without the Image Being Cut Off?
In the Paper Options screen, select the Enlarged/Reduced Printing checkbox, select Fit in Printable Area, and then print.
What Is the Ambient Light Setting?
Ambient light color and brightness vary by environmental factors such as location (indoors or outdoors) or lighting (fluorescent or incandescent). Therefore the same poster may appear different depending on where it is displayed.
Use the ambient light setting functions to adjust colors automatically according to the environment to visually enhance the poster's color tones.
