Print without margins - is it possible with Powerpoint or is it a printer problem?

[kev]

I have an Epson Stylus Color 580 and am trying to print a page without
a margin.

Having set the pages to custom for the printer I am still unsuccessful
in producing the right result. I have even told Powerpoint to use a
page setup slightly larger than A4 in the hope it will spread the
output beyond the phsical size of the paper. Unfortunately I still get
a margin.

Any ideas to solve this? I am beginning to think that it is beyond
the capability of the printer. My searches have not produced any
information one way or the other about this printer's abilities in
this respect ie to allow a full page print...again does anyone know
for sure?

Thanks for that. The test proves the printer leaves margins. At least
I don't have to keep trying to solve something that is unsolveable.

Because of the impact on your budget perhaps? LOL!

If the printer's feature list says "full bleed" then it can print the
entire

surface of the paper.

Some may claim full bleed at a particular size but to get it, you have to
buy special oversize paper then trim. Caveat emptor.

But I wonder, why is it called "bleed"?

Because the image "oozes" over the edges? Or maybe because the ink (on a
printing press) does that and gums up the works?
