Expert: - 4/27/2008


Question
I am setting up my vector image so they are centered in the art board on
different layers one right on top of the other. so when they print they are exacly
back to back. no one can seem to print it this way where I live, and they keep
blaming it on my file.

Answer
Hi Quinn,

Its not your file per se, but what happens when you print back to back, the printer itself offsets the print to accomodate the grippers. You need to find out what your printer offset is and account for it on both sides (one nudge say 1/8" one way, the second side opposite).
