How to Print Borderless Photos on Epson L3252 in Windows 10 and Windows 11

Last Updated on 10.04.2026 by DriverNew

If white edges appear around your photo when printing, borderless printing is either turned off or the wrong paper settings are selected.

This guide is written for Epson L3252. It may also help with similar Epson models that use the same print settings, such as L3250, L3251, and L3256.

What borderless printing means

Borderless printing means the photo is printed across the entire sheet, without a white border around the edges.

On Epson L3252, this mode is most commonly used for 4 x 6 in. (10 x 15 cm) photo printing. If the wrong paper size or paper type is selected, the option may not appear in the print settings.

Before you start

Make sure photo paper is loaded in the printer.
Make sure you know the paper size, for example 4 x 6 in. (10 x 15 cm).
Make sure the full Epson driver is installed, not just the standard Windows printer driver.
