When I print on my Epson 1280, my files always print slightly larger than what I specify. Is there a way to correct this?

Hello All,
Not being one who does any home printing at all these days… From memory – Not sure about the capabilities of your printer. Common problem with printers is that they do no print to the edges of the paper.
If you are setting yor image size to the exact size of the paper you are using – and your printer is not able to print to the edges of the paper you will loose detail.
Check to find out the exact printable surface that your printer will print. Alternately – you can make your image to the exact size of your paper – then enlarge the canavas size of the image by 10mm all the way round the image – flatten down the image – and resize it to the exact size of the paper –
that should give you boarder – to compensate the printable surface used by the
printer – you may have to very the canvas border size to suit your requirements.
or
You can just make your image smaller by about 10mm on all boundaries.
