So you are printing to a PostScript file? What PPD are you using?

Does it need to be PostScript or can you use PDF?

Something went wrong with your screenshot.

When I use this Distiller PPD no change takes place when I print/save separations.

The direct download for the PPD:

Are you creating separations? Can you describe the steps and where it goes wrong compared to previous workflows/versions?

I'm printing single colour film plates, to then make chromatec/transfer decals.

See attached screenshots of

1 - a typical artwork (A3)

2 - ps file which is saving with the oversized and non central page size...
