Cutting posters from your poster machine for schools is important. Achieving edge-to-edge print helps create polished, professional displays. Below, we answer some common questions about trimming posters and borderless printing with your poster maker.

How do I cut posters from the poster printer machine after printing?

All of our poster printing machines come with a built-in horizontal cutter that automatically slices your poster at the end of each print! Our Studio 44 Pro poster maker comes with a vertical trimmer as well, that you can get clean, precise cuts along all edges, making them ideal for high-quality, professional posters. Just hit print, and your poster maker printer handles the rest! For information on how the vertical trimmer works, click here.

Can my school’s poster maker machine print edge-to-edge (borderless)?

Edge-to-edge, or borderless, printing depends on your poster maker printer model. Some large poster printers like our Studio 24, Studio 44, and Studio 44 Pro allow for full-bleed designs, meaning the image covers the entire poster without a border. However, many poster making machines for schools may leave a small white margin around the edges.

What’s the best way to trim a poster that’s not printed edge-to-edge?

If your poster size printer leaves a border, use a ruler and a sharp blade or paper cutter to trim the edges. This gives you a clean, professional look without sacrificing the size of your poster. Just make sure to measure carefully to keep your edges straight.

Trimming posters from your poster printer machine is quick and easy. Your school poster maker will create clean and professional posters every time. You can use full-bleed designs or trim borders.
