Abstract
A device for borderless printing on imaging material by means of an ink jet printer has a support surface against which the imaging material lies while printing ink is applied to it during the printing process. The support surface has cutouts and is hydrophobic and/or oil-repellant, so as to repel printing ink that is sprayed outside the borders of the imaging material.
