Explanation:
You could say 'white borders', but it is neither usual nor necessary.

Also 'borderless', though personally I think that's ugly!

agree  Christopher Crockett: Yes, "white border" is redundant. Traditionally, the "border" is made by the "mask" of the "easel" by which the photographic paper is held during printing. It's white because it's not exposed to the light from the enlarger --the paper itself is white.
