the DNP paper sizes which are sized for the bleed margins. See attached.<br>
Then in the Sparkbooth printing setting, you can set all margins to 0.</p></div>Johntag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/480669432020-02-06T18:49:21Z2020-02-06T18:49:21ZMargins <div><p>i only get this options</p></div>nathyfranco97tag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/480669432020-02-06T18:51:51Z2020-02-06T18:51:51ZMargins <div><p>Click on the Paper dropdown list.

because they are not the same as the layout image you attached.</p>
<p>Second, in your layout you do not have the photo boxes<br>
CENTERED to the Left Strip and Right Strip...<br>
Use the Center Guide so you can see where to move<br>
the photo boxes to the center of the left and center of the right strip.<br>

<p>You are using the 6X4DNP size layout that is 1240PX Wide X 1844px High<br>
Look again at the example attached with more info on it</p>
<p>Just center your photo boxes between the green center line<br>
and you should get a good layout that WILL cut in the center<br>
between your photo boxes<br>
(as long as you CENTERED the photo boxes correctly)</p></div>Joe Connelltag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/480669432020-02-06T23:03:41Z2020-02-06T23:03:41ZMargins <div><p>This is what you need to do:<br>
1. Set all the margins in Sparkbooth to 0 (zero). You will no longer need<br>
to change the margin settings. Also no more test prints. The test print is<br>
only if you need to adjust the margins which you do not need to do<br>
2. Go to the Layout Editor and create a new layout using one of the DNP<br>
paper sizes<br>
3. Add the photo placeholders, text, and images you want on the layout as<br>
Joe pointed out. The center of the paper will be where the printer will cut.<br>
And that is it.</p></div>John
