Patent number: 8048824Abstract: A system of printing borderless images on printable media includes at least one sheet of printable media including an imaging surface and a non-imaging surface. The system further includes a removable extension strip having a front surface with an adhesive zone and a non-adhesive zone, a non-adhesive back surface, and a straight line of demarkation between the adhesive and non-adhesive zones. The adhesive zone is configured to removably adhere to the non-imaging surface, and the straight line of demarkation is configured as a placement guide for adhering the adhesive zone of the extension strip to the media. An associated method includes adhering an adhesive portion of removable extension strip to a non-imaging surface proximate a trailing edge of the media, and ink-jet printing an image on an imaging surface of the media using an ink-jet printer. The strip is used by rollers in the printer to advance the media.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2007Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Juan Manuel Valero Navazo, David Claramunt Morera, Pasqual Batalia, Ezequiel Jordi Rufes Bernad
