Hi Len, I am by far no expert but... Is the problem you're having with scaling of the image or is it with margins from your printer (e.g. Placement)?
If I size images (or whatever) based on 72 whatevers per inch and then print at 100% I get images that are the size I expect. For example if I want my printed image to be 1.5"x2", I'd set the size of the image to 108x144 pixels and when I print I'll get what I expect. However if you are trying to print an image at a precise location on a page, you need to account for the margins and, perhaps, use printMargins again using 72 whatevers as your scaling factor. NOTE: I'm not sure but I bet the minimum allowable depends on the printer you are using and if you are printing on plastic cards it may be weird. My HP uses 0.25" min. and some photo printers allow you to have 0 margins. Hope this helps? (Way to simplistic is my guess). Jim btw: My approach would be to have a substack that is a "virtual" card. Size a card at 153x243 (2.125 x 3.375), place an image object where the photo should go and size it appropriately, set the lockLocation to true (so it won't change) and then load it with the image of your choosing (scaled to fit). Set the printMargins to 0,0,0,0 and see what you get. If the whole thing prints offset... Measure how far off it is.. Convert that to dots and shift everything on the card to the left and up the required amount. Finally, subtract that # of "dots" from the right and bottom of the card and it should work? Of course, I could be wrong as 1) I haven't actually tried this, 2) I'm on a Mac and 3) I'm often wrong. -- James H.
