I just can't seem to be able to fill the paper without at least a small white margin. Wonder if someone here might give me an assist to:

1. Prepare the initial image to an exact 13 x 19 crop

2. Get my Canon Pixma Pro 9000 II to print that image without margin?

(I have been choosing A3+ as paper size).

Download and install the plugin byCanon called Canon Print Studio Pro. This is the best utility for Canon printers bar none. After you install it go to File/Plugin Extras/Canon Print Studio Pro. The utility opens and make printing with LR easy. There are certain papers that you don't print boarderless. One that I know of is Matt paper by Canon in 13x19. But if you are using semi gloss, gloss, or Luster you should be able to print boarderless.

I print with Print Studio Pro on a Canon Pro 100, I do nothing but borderless all the time, sorta. I set "Print to Actual Paper Size" and "Print Margins in Black" because I crop images for what I think is the best look and sometimes it is not the exact same ratio as the paper. This gives me prints that go all the way to the edge of the paper in solid black.

Thanks to above. I am perplexed why Lightroom apparently doesn't let me crop to a specific dimension ratio.ie 13 x 19 inches? The "overlays" don't have a 13 x 19, and it would be nice to just, for example to crop to 4.5 x 6.5 inches if I wanted to. Then just print actual size? I am probably just missing something. I do have the print studio pro and tend to use it but recently thought I would see if I couldn't at least partially learn the lightroom print module.

In LR, under the "Develop" mode, click on the crop icon and then on the line that says Aspect and Original with a little lock icon click on Original and a drop down menu of ratios appears, at the bottom it says "Enter custom...", click on that and a window appears where you can type in the ratio you want. When I set it up I put in 13x19 since that is what my Pro-100 will do. I know of someone who put in 11x14 because the public library in town specifies that size for their photo contests they run a few times a year.

Qimage should work well for you. Its a great printing program that I have used for years with my Canon Pro 9000, and will easily print borderless at all image sizes.
