This isn't a web-design question, but as designers I'm sure all of you have designed printed media for clients on occasion. So perhaps you can share some advice?

I currently have an older, cheap HP all-in-one unit. (Printer, copier, scanner.) But when I design a brochure in InDesign CS2, or an 8.5 x 11 project in Photoshop CS2, I can't print the comps at home as my printer doesn't do borderless. Plus, in Photoshop, it also always gives me a .5-.7 inch border on the top. There's no setting to change it.

Ideally, I would like to be able to print with at least .25" margins (like Kinkos, etc.). This way I can print my own comps and be able to print and adjust my projects without making several trips elsewhere.

However, if I buy a borderless printer, will Photoshop and InDesign allow me to actually print that way? I've seen various issues online, although I can't get a clear-cut answer.

Anyone have any input? Thanks.

If you have a laser printer, even older versions of the Adobe programs will allow you to print borderless. There is no inkjet on the planet that it will allow to do so, from what I've seen so far.

Really? Because I saw online somewhere that said the exact opposite! What the heck?
