Re: new 1280 print borders unequal

2006-07-04 by jimcongleton

Dave,
    I ran into this problem with my 1280 when I upgraded to OS 10.4/PS Elements 4, but 
was able to get equal margins all around by setting up custom page sizes with a 0.25 
margin on all sides. Although the computer-darkroom.com article says that OS 10 doesn't 
support custom pages sizes, that is apparently no longer true.
