Digital BW, The Print

Hello Clayton,
Minimize Margins" works and the margins are .25 inches.  There is, 
however, a mysterious black band between the photographic image and 
the white border.  Any idea what that is?  I'll be away from printing 
for about 10 days (vacation, etc.) and will give your other 
suggestions a try when I get back.  Thanks very much to all who have 
offered suggestions.
Dick
