[URGENT] Need help with printing out a graphic on an A4 sized paper

Postby ChongHong » Tue Sep 27, 2016 1:16 pm

Hi guys,

I'm designing a tri-fold brochure for my work organisation and it is due this Saturday. I can't seem to get the sizing of the graphic right, I've tried multiple times to print the graphic edge to edge on an A4 sized paper but there was always white spaces and margins. Sometimes, the graphic will be cut off and does not fit perfectly on an A4 sized paper even though it looks like it does it the print preview.

Info about the graphic I'm printing

W: 297mm
H: 207mm

I can't set the dimensions exactly to A4 dimensions otherwise it will be too large for it to fit into an A4 sized paper.

The printer I'm printing with is RICOH MP C6003.



Thanks for your time and help.

Hi.

For an edge to edge design trimming is the ultimate solution.
Prepare your design on an SRA4 sized paper (320 mm / 225 mm) and add trim marks, use proper bleed and safe area etc.
