If you take a look at the two different pics on this post, the first one is full bleed (no borders) on a perl-surface poster paper. The 2nd one is matte with a border.
I can do full-bleed on most gloss-coating type of papers from semimatte to perl to full photogloss. Most matte papers and 'fine art' papers have edge soak issues and as such cannot be done full bleed. You have to print them with a border, let them dry for 10 minutes and then cut them manually, otherwise the edges soak things up and cause streaking and marring. I'm working on getting my cutting equipment together so I can do large-scale full bleed work on any media.
While I've not done it yet (it's a little pricey, so I'm waiting for the first at-least-partially-paid excuse!), yes, this printer can handle the laser-perf style vehicle wrap vinyl, including the one-way material like you see on bus windows. I can't wait to experiment with it!
As far as other questions, sure, ask away. I've a lot to learn yet and I'm in full research-and-experiment mode. I'll start a thread for it over in my own journal soon. :)
