That’s cracked it.
Thanks very much to everyone who has contributed.
Not thought about this much but is having the print margins default to 72 the
best option for most situations?
This is one for better minds than I.
Anyway, thanks again to all.

Terry,
If your concern is that the area of the card doesn’t print exactly as you see
it on screen, it looks to me like the printMargins are set at the default 72

Try setting the printMargins to 0
set the printMargins to "0,0,0,0"

put globalLoc(the topLeft of widget bb) into TL
put globalLoc(the botRight of widget bb) into BR
export snapshot from rect (TL,BR) to img ii as PNG
hide widget bb -- avoid artefacts
This is the script I use to capture screenshots from particular areas
