  1. 1.Edge ladder: three black 1 mm stripes on every edge
  2. 2.Cyan band just inside the ladder
  3. 3.Magenta corner squares
  4. 4.100 mm scale bar
  • Count the black stripes on each edge, then compare all four edges.
  • Hold the print over a dark surface so you can see the white margin clearly.
  • Use the same paper you plan to print on, since borderless support depends on the paper type.
