delete white border around all 4 sides of Page

I have a Page, that inludes two images, and few text boxes, solid background color of light gray. Nothing very complicated. Everything looks fine, as I look at the Page on my computer screen. There is no white border. However, when I print a copy of this Page, it has a white 1/16" border, on all 4 sides of paper. I checked Inspector, but do not see anything that would account for this weird white border. Hope you can help.

Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Thank you for your reply - really appreciate it.

1. Pages> View> layout> there is no "non printable' area visable. I don't see any white border.


2. Printer > layout >border > none


3. Re-did the background color - as there is no Inspector >graphic option, to simply 'fill' the background, I created an object, and 'filled' it with a light gray. I clicked and dragged the edges of this object, beyond the page size, of my work.


Printed... Still have that weird 1/16th inch border around my Page. Just can't seem to find how to get rid of it.

But thanks so much for your help.

Fruhulda: Still workin' on this. My HP Photosmart Premium C310, has many paper & envelope sizes, with borderless options. I was intending to specify a custom paper size. However, when I use the Printer set up option of "Manage Custom sizes', I can enter in my custom dimensions, but there is no option for 'borderless'. Perhaps, the default, will always have a border, if there is no specific option given. Contrary to many older posts, my newer HP, has lots of 'borderless' size/print options. I think your answer, has led me closer to understanding the issue. Thanks very much.

Fruhulda: nailed it! I used a custom size (defined by me), and of course, there is no borderless option for this custom size. I will need to select from the standard paper sizes, that do indeed, have a borderless option.

This is a huge help, as it would have been embarassing to print/send the file with that border error.

Thank you again.
