Publisher 2007 Booklet Print Problem
I created a small 4 pg booklet using a designed template from MS online. This
is a 1/2 booklet format 5.5 x 8.5; I set all margins to 1/4" in the master and page set up. I successfully insert my pics & bled them to the edge of the sheet. The problem comes with printing samples on my HP PSC 1350 home printer. I lose 1/2" of printing on the front edge of pg 1 & pg 3; meaing that for 1/2" from the edge.. it is blank and my full image doesn't print fully. I want to bleed all the images to the edge and use printed sample pages or send a pdf to the printer for finishing. I'm tryig to avoid any trimming or cutting since the paper to be used w/b 8.5x11. I checked the printer settings which don't seem to have an effect on eliminating this 1/2" non-printable margin. Thanks for any useful advice. |

Sounds like your margin settings are exceeding the printers allowable
minimums. To see what your minimums margins are you can do the following: Open Notepad and select File, Page Setup. In the Margin boxes, set them all to zero then move the cursor from the last margin box. The settings will automatically change to your printers minimums. I have a HP 1200 Business InkJet and my minimum bottom setting is .46"; sounds like your HP is the same. -- Don - Publisher 2000® Vancouver, USA "jamowa" wrote in message news I created a small 4 pg booklet using a designed template from MS online.

Publisher 2007 Booklet Print Problem
Don,
Thanks for your response. I did the Note pad check and have the following results: L - .25, R - .25, T - .07, B - .5 Which is interesting since the right margin seems set on .5 when I try to print from Pub 07 not .25...wch I could live with. Also the left margin is mutable and can be set to less than .25. Thru experimentation I discovered: - If I set the paper to A4 I can view the entire image albeit w/ a .5 right margin - If I set the paper to 8/5x11 I can't get the entire image to display regardless of right margin setting - I abandoned the booklet format and just created a doc w/ a single landscape 8.5x11 sheet set w/ 0 margins. But problem persists, i.e., .5 " fixed right margin. - Even with a 8.5x11 format (margins = 0) my printable area is restricted to L margin - .07, width - 10.43, top margin - .25, height - 8 per the Printer Details tab. Why? I wanted to create a simple 4 page doc w/ images that bled to the paper edges in a basic 2 up print format. The client wants a final product in Pub 07 (?) for future editing, I guess; but I may have to create this in InDesign if I can't get Publisher to cooperate. ta, jamowa "Don Schmidt" wrote: Sounds like your margin settings are exceeding the printers allowable minimums.

Your printer will not print in the area outside of the margins. To do so,
you will need to acquire a printer that will print with less margins. -- Don - Publisher 2000® Vancouver, USA "jamowa" wrote in message ... Don, Thanks for your response.

Publisher 2007 Booklet Print Problem
Thanks, Mary, for your response. I have this Add-in installed. In fact I've
tried converting the doc to PDF & then printing. See my response to Don for results of my other experiments. I've tried many permutations with and without pdf format, but I can't get the left & right margins to be the same. Worst case, the client will have to trim the booklet after printing. However, that will be impossible if I can't get the right and left margins to be the same. I could live w/ .25" on each side but one side is always .5". Very vexing. jamowa "Mary Sauer" wrote: A workaround would be to save the booklet as a PDF. Microsoft has an add-in you can download.

Yes it would seem that is the case. Sigh. I just wish I could get the two
sides to have the same margins. I've set guides at .5 on both sides (since the .25 printer margin isn't working) but after printing, the images don't line when the page is folded. This is a problem when the printer trims the sheet. I've tried converting to pdf w/ same .5 margins but the output is still not lining up. Surely, Pub 07 doesn't convert a file to pdf using the limitation of the attached printer? ta, jamowa "Don Schmidt" wrote: Your printer will not print in the area outside of the margins.

If you're gonna bleed you just make the page bigger...set up Custom page
size to allow for 1/8" (or whatever your printer wants) all around and bleed out to that, but keep your content within normal page size.

I believe the reason the right margin is .5" is because it is the bottom of
the sheet of paper as it comes out of the printer; thus the bottom margin. -- Don - Vancouver, USA "May your shadow be found in happy places." - Native North American "jamowa" wrote in message news Yes it would seem that is the case.

Thanks to everyone for their responses. You all had some good info. This 4
pg brochure was going to China for printing so I was trying to make it super simple. Maybe too simple. In the end, I just used two 8.5x11 landscape pages and marked the center fold and .25" margin all around. I figured once I converted it to pdf file, it would be fairly easy to print, trim, and fold. I was trying to avoid the trim part, but c'est la vie. I'll know soon if the client was able to print and use. ta, "Don Schmidt" wrote: I believe the reason the right margin is .5" is because it is the bottom of the sheet of paper as it comes out of the printer; thus the bottom margin. |
