I often find that prints from either of my Epson printers suffer at the
very edges of the paper.
Is it common for printers in the Canon Pixma range to also suffer in this
way, if not I may consider switching brands...
Many thanks,

Not sure what you mean by "suffer at the very edges." Borderless prints
from Canon printers can exhibit two problems at the trailing edge - banding
at the approximate last 3/16 of an inch and/or some ink smears. The cause
is generally related to a slight curve in the paper. I've solved that
problem by always storing all glossy photo paper flat and not leaving any in
the printer between print runs. In addition, the printer creates a
borderless print by "overprinting" slightly past the edge of the paper, so
you do lose some of the picture at each edge. Sort of like an additional
amount of cropping. Probably not unlike all other printers when doing
borderless prints.
