Question
My first question is how do I get ride of the white border around my document when I print? I want my artwork to be the only visable edge. My second question is how do I make the colors print out the same as they are on the computer?

Answer
Hi Camara,

The issue with the border when you print is your printer not the application. Unless you have an edge to edge photo printer, you will always have the border on your prints. The printer needs this white space to avoid ink leakage and the grippers to move your page through the printer.

The second question has to do with color calibration. It is a very long and involved process, however, if you go through the steps in the help menu (search color calibration) it can help you get started. I actually teach this and it is a good two-hours worth of content. Way too long to explain on here.

Thanks
