I am having an issue when trying to print a document from inDesign. The paper I use is unique (size and perforations) and I have it set up within the program but when I print, it comes out different. The margins look differnt and some of the text is cut off, even though it is all within the margins of the document in the program. Any suggestions to get it to print exactly as I see on my screen?

Does the printer  print to the edges or at least to the margins you have used to design?

How accurate does the printer work when transporting the paper?

 

my recommendation is also to export a PDF first and print from Acrobat.

Hi @Jason35929721jxlc, did you try exporting your InDesign document to a PDF first and then printing? That is the best method.
