Hi everyone,

I am designing some ads for a friend, and when we print them out, the printer seems to print outside of the paper. Know what I mean? Things at the edges will get cut off. The artboard is set to regular 8.5x11.

I'm pretty much self-taught in everything I know about Illustrator, which isn't a lot.

Any ideas why objects on the artboard are getting cut off at the sides when printing?

Is it leaving a border around the edge of the paper, or is it blowing up the image slightly so that things are running off the edge? If there's a border of white, then it's most likely the printer margins (either they need to be set to 0", or the printer doesn't support borderless printing).

Of course, I have far less knowledge of Illustrator than you, I'm sure (considering I've barely ever touched it), so perhaps there's another explanation someone can present.
