MPC 2500 full bleed

[leo34staffs]

Can this machine do full bleed printing?, if so, can it be done in the rcps drivers?

Thanks

I believe the answer is no, because of the required blank lead edge and side margins.

Not possible I'm afraid.

I have managed to get it within 1mm all edges but even that takes a fair bit of trial and error using the RPCS driver's
custom paper size adjustment and tweaking the leading edge start position for the desired paper type in service mode.

But you will definely get fusing smear on the leading edge and toner transferring over to PTR roller if you over adjust and stick it right to the edge.

A workaround could be to print A4 to B4 or A3 to A3+ and use crop marks as guides for trimming.

When I've had customers that wanted full-bleed, what we usually end up doing is to run 12x18 and then we can end up with 11x17 full bleed, with a bit of trimming.

Other than running oversized paper for the job, I don't really see how it can be done. The tiniest bit of void needs to be there for obvious reasons.

I know that dye-sub printers and such can produce it. Those new HP edgeline copiers I would think could handle the job.

I think that unless the print image is on larger paper and you trim it down, you'll have a void on the page. I'm with Cipher on this one.
