Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, or something basic I should know. But I've combed the forums, the help files, as well as doing a general web search, and I cannot find the answer.
The issue: When I print, my documents margins are off. For example, a 3.5 " x 2" business card, all content contained within boundaries. I've tried it as a single card, making a full page (for Avery sheets) with the imposition layout tool, and well as a full repeated page of 10, on a document sized 8.5" x 10". I've adjusted gutters, margins -- basically anything I can find that's editable -- and no matter how it looks in the screen print preview, it prints slighty off, which on a perforated sheet pretty much ruins them all.
In regards to my above example, my left & right margin are 0.75", and my top/bottom margins are 0.50". There is no space between the 2-across/5-up cards. Again, looks fine on my screen preview, but prints 'slightly' to the left. I've gone so far as to adjust my graphics, moving them slighty to the right to compensate -- still fails.
I hope someone has the solution. I'm about to tear out my hair from frustration!! TIA.
PS: I've tried multiple printers, thinking that could be the issue, but the problem was repeatable no matter which printer I used.
I think you may have a mismatch between the size of the page in CorelDraw and the actual paper size.
This happens typically for two reasons:
Explaining how to fix it is not so easy because there are many printers with different driver setup screens. The best hope is if you can say what printers you have and perhaps somebody here has the same one to explain where you find these settings.
For ease of explanation, it would also be useful to say the exact size of the printer paper.
Thank you, Harry and David.
I am printing on US standard 8.5"x11" sized paper/cardstock (Avery 10-per-page Business Cards). The two printers I've tried most are: Ricoh MP C300, and Epson Workforce 845.Indeed I have tried selecting/deselecting "fit to printable area", as well as "fit to page", and "reposition images to", putting exact measurement in settings.
