Re: QTR: print margins

2005-01-11 by steveabrink

My margins on 16 in. roll paper came out to a max 15.35 in. width, 
and I need 15.6 in. to use pre-cut 16x20 in. mats! 

Can someone tell me if/how to print as close to 16 in. width as 
possible?   I don't know what the prints margins are, and also using 
the custom paper size set-up...? 

Thanks in advance!
