Digital BW, The Print

If it is 1mm out you notice it and it soon gets under your skin.  The 102%
rectangle also leaves a slight edge.  In the end I decided to take all the
guess work out and coat the page.  You'll waste more paper and ink having
something that doesn't align than you will placing the glop until it is
under the mat.
