Photos Are Printed Off-Center
I'm using Photoshop CS (not CS2, etc.) on a Macintosh G5, running OS
10.3.9 (Panther). In Image Size, I set the document size & resolution. In Print With Preview, I have the Center Image box checked. In Scaled Print Size, I've entered 93% for Scale, in order to optimize this image on 11x14 paper. At 100%, the image will get clipped (so says PS). My printer is an Epson 1280. The print does not come out as pictured in the preview window of Print With Preview. In fact, it comes out not only off-center, but with far more white space surrounding it than the preview window indicates and what I expected. Everything else is fine: color rendition, etc. What am I doing wrong? Or, should I be doing something I'm not doing? As you may gather, I'm not very experienced with PS & printing color digital. I'd appreciate any comments/advice. If you need more info, let me know. Thanks, in advance. |

You can also set print area "maximised" to reduce white space: there are dire warnings not to do this with photo paper but I have never had a problem. -- Richard C |

Additionally I might check the Adob e website at the FAQs to see if this issue might be one that others are having. -- Jan Alter |

After going to Epson.com, which doesn't offer a driver update for my
OS 10.3.9, and to Adobe.com's knowledgebase & forums, which didn't directly address the issue, I did discover an idea at Adobe that I hadn't thought of: Read your printer's manual. Duh! I re-set up the driver. I then ran some tests on 4x6 paper (to minimize ink, etc., use), and the images were centered. I don't know if re-setting up the printer had anything to do with it, as the re-set up only made more options available roll paper, etc. Where I am now is to test on a 11x14 sheet, this time, & see how that turns out. Thanks, all, for your input. |
