I am creating a document that needs to be cut into fourths. I have lined
everything up so that each half will be perfect, each finished sheet will be
4.25x5.5. When I print it, it doesn't line up anymore, and I don't know why.
It seems like there is a small margin when you print that does not show on
the screen. Any ideas?

Is each forth going to be the same? If it is use the postcard setup and center
your creation on the card. You will have one card on the screen, it will make it
easier for you to work with.
Where is this small margin? If it is on the right, then it is a limitation of
your printer margin. Refer to this article, it will help

Your printer is causing the thinner border line on the right. It is quitting the
print a bit early. You might be able to keep this from happening by moving the
border in a little. Most printers will have a larger border limitation on the
right when printing landscape.

Hi there

I have an Epson Stylus 1400 it is set to print Borderless.

I am sooo frustruated

I have my 4 postcards arranged using the page set up feature - they are laid
out as portrait - the middle black bar is the size that it is meant to be -
but the one on the right is like missing .25 or so....the weird thing is -
it is printed to the edge there is no white showing ?? so its like it is
cutting off the printing on the inside edge not the outside edge of the black
bar.....

The other strange thing is the text in the left quadrants is being bumped
to the left - it is not printing as it looks on the screen at all - it will
also not print as a PDF as it looks on the screen ???

HELP im so annoyed !

Probably a dam stupid question, you haven't by any change selected a
metric page size in your printer while your document is imperial?

Publisher will have problems with some borderless printers. A workaround is to
save your publication as a picture and use your printer software for the print.
