Digital BW, The Print

Hello Dick,

>I'm printing from within Photoshop 6.0 on a PC.  I want to print an 
>image on 5x7 paper with .25 inch borders all around.  My image in 
>Photoshop is cropped to 4.5x6.5 inches.  My printer settings are 
>landscape, 5x7 paper size, centered, Epson Enhanced Matte, 2800 dpi, 
>black only.  The print preview shows a centered image with wider 
>borders on the sides.  The actual print has .25 inch borders on top 
>and bottom, and .5 borders on the ends.  The image is compressed (or 
>clipped) to less than 6.5 inches.

I think the "Minimize Margins" check box will prevent the compressing.
The centering is not always exact due to slightly different paper
handling, so I always print on a slightly larger paper and trim it
down to what I want for margins.  I use several custom defined paper
sizes.

Regards,
Clayton
