nothing I was ever confronted with, but maybe this explanation that Roy gave a while ago could help:






What's going on is that the Preset  (actually Last Used Settings)
has both QTR settings and Epson settings.   The Epson settings come
from some previous
 printing that had borderless 13x19 printing.   So it sets this
variable to expand the size by
3% (Epson does this to make sure there's no white line on side).   So
in the end the
13in wide is multiplied by 1.03 which is too big.   Pretty weird and
contrived but that's whats happening.

I tried to find a way to clean up a particular Preset but OSX seems
pretty determined.
The most foolproof is probably to Trash all the preset files and
reboot the computer
and start from scratch.   But the less drastic way that I think will work is:
When you are trying to make a Preset,  first select Printer, second
select Standard as
the Preset, (or on newer OS's its called Default Settings.
select all the options you want and then in the Preset - Save As a new name.
The main thing here is not to start with an existing Preset which may
have old values in it.
Another thing that I'd recommend is to always use Presets for a
particular printer not
all printers. -- you should see that  in the Preset Save window.  Be
sure to keep Epson Presets separate from QTR Presets.

Printing from osx 10.9 to an epson 4000 printer, custom page sizes yield an undersized output, approximately 2% undersize. Standard paper sizes are perfect.
