How to Print Borderless Photos on Epson L8100 in Windows 10 and Windows 11

Last Updated on 10.04.2026 by DriverNew

If your photo prints with a white border, you need to turn on borderless printing in the printer settings. On Epson L8100, this is done in the print settings before you send the photo to print.

This guide is written for Epson L8100. It may also help with similar Epson photo printers that use similar print settings, such as L8050, L8160, and L8180. Some option names may vary slightly.

What borderless printing means

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

In this mode, the image is sometimes enlarged slightly. Because of this, the edges of the photo may be cropped a little. This is normal for borderless printing.

Before you start

Make sure the printer is loaded with suitable photo paper.
Make sure you know the exact paper size.
Make sure the Epson driver is installed on the computer.
