Hi all - I'm wondering for a particular XL pano print I need to make (something like 44x100") is it possible for it to be borderless on one side only?
How would I set my printer up to print from like that. I'm roll printing, at this size obviously.
(Epson P20000)

What is your paper width and your print size?

What is your paper width and your print size?
44" wide x 110"
I want the bottom to be borderless (or the 'top' - can flip the image)
its on a 44" roll of the 'Singleweight Matte Paper', fwiw.

Still missing the print size? Not sure if you can do that or not. If the print is not 44" wide then the driver does not consider it a borderless print. In Lightroom have you tried setting 0 as the one border and see if it will shove it over.
If it gets mounted don't you have to trim it anyways?
If the paper is 44" wide and the print is 44" wide that would be true borderless and no need to print borderless on just one side.
Still missing something?

What do you want on the other side?
For eg if you want 1” white then I would expand the canvas to one side. Eg image size 43x100 then canvas 44x100 with a white strip, just print normal borderless mode

Thanks both for suggestions - the image is a giant XXL one at 110"x87.5" so will be printed as TWO long strips of 110x44" paper, half the image on each.
The joint between the two halves is the issue, as a white strip is not perfect - trimming off a 110 x 1/8" white border is hard to do perfectly - hence the original question.
Ideally for the joint between them, one side would be printed borderless, easier to join up side by side, and no white strip down the middle.
Will try simply adjusting the printer centering on one side and see if that makes it 'borderless'.

Trouble is with Epson borderless is that it expands the image a little (setting TBD in the driver) so that it oversprays the edge a little. This will lead to a very minor crop.
