Create your layout in Photoshop/Photoshop Elements or other graphic program with creative elements that use 2/3 of the 12" paper [i.e.: have a 3" or 4" section of contrasting pattern at the top or bottom/right or left of the layout. This could be your journaling or Title.] 2. Put legal size paper in your printer[8.5" x 14"]. 3. In Printer dialog box, Select legal size paper. Photoshop allows you to position your layout in the middle of the paper so that there is a 1" unprinted area at the top and the bottom. You need this because most printers will not print to the edge of the paper. 4. Print your layout 2 times. 1st print the left side of the layout. 2nd print the right side of the layout. 5. Printed layout will overlap. Trim so that both sides complete the 12" x 12" size. Glue together at the overlap. Hope this inspires you.

If that is so, there is only one consumer printer that will print 12 x 12 borderless prints, and that is the Epson R1800. It is not an inexpensive printer, as the suggested price is $549. I did a Google search and I couldn't find it cheaper, it is a new printer that was just released by Epson, so it may take 6 months for the price to drop. BYW - it takes 8 ink cartridges.
