Question
I created a brochure, size 8.5X11, no border, right to the edges, when i print it, it has a white border completely around the brochure and cuts off part of it?? totally stumped.
Thank you
Hi Terri,
Its not your document, its your printer. Most printers cannot print edge to edge. They require on average .25" insets on your design to accommodate the printer.
If you need to print edge to edge, you need to design your project to overprint the edges of your page, or bleed and print on a larger paper size to trim out to the edge.
Thanks
Kevin
