bonose Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'm trying to produce a CD package and can't get the printable area (drawing sheets) centered on the printed sheets. Under "Border Settings", I've chosen: Horiz Dim.: 34" Vert Dim.: 22" The sheet size is: ASME D The "Dimensions Shown Are: Outside Dimensions .5" margins all around Under Page Setup, I've chosen Size: ASME D Under Printer Setup, I've chosen: Format for : Any Printer Paper Size: ASME D The "Preview" image and/or .pdf file results with the sheet image shifted 1/2" to the right and down, thus cropping part of the right side and bottom of the image. Any suggestions? Thanks, Dan Boone Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Hi Dave, what printer are you using? Each printer/plotter has it's own set of very specific margins/printable area. Perhaps if you format for a specific printer instead of any printer?? Quote Link to comment
bonose Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Peter, thanks for the suggestion - I have tried printing smaller VW documents with my Epson Workforce 1100 printer that can print 11 x 17 size prints. To the same results. ASME setups shift the image to the right and down. It must have something to do with the Epson printer - I've not had this problem in the past when a HP LaserJet was my default printer. Dan Boone Quote Link to comment
Majic Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) Dan- You might try setting the Pages Horizontal and Vertical settings in the Page Setup to something less than one -- in my case .9934 and .9901 work. I typically format my drawings for US ARCH Size D 36 X 24. I print 50% scale on 19 X 12-1/2 sheets cut by my supplier from standard 38 x 25 stock with matching custom size settings in the Epson Workforce 1100 printer setup. - HTH Edited July 22, 2010 by Majic Quote Link to comment
