OVERVIEW:
This document provides the background information and steps required to set up an Epson SureColor P10000 or P20000 printer and ONYX
Thrive or RIPCenter software (v18.5) for optimal high-speed printing of borderless posters. The highest quality posters are made using the
borderless double-cut mode. Double-cut yields a full-bleed, trimmed poster ready for pack and ship. Borderless Single-cut requires
additional settings and job conditions geared toward maximizing roll paper yield by printing and cutting continuously with no space in-
between.

•
Create a Custom Paper Setting: Using the printer control panel to build a custom paper setting with cutter adjustments
•
