Windows 10, Microsoft Paint, not Paint 3D or Paint net. Lately some of my MS Paint projects come closer to filling the page then ever before. Because of that I have noticed that what appears on my screen is different then what appears on my page. No matter how closely I set an object or copy to an edge of the page on-screen, when printed out, the object or copy I had set 1 ruler mark from the edge of the page is now 1/2" away from the edge of the page. It's as if there is a 1/2" margin on all 4 sides. Trying different things, I discovered Image Properties was set to 2200 to 1800 pixels. Thinking this was going to be the fix I wanted, I changed to 3300 x 2550. Opening an image I had created earlier, that image appeared something like 25% smaller than what I had created. I expanded everything back to the size I wanted. Now when printed out, there is still a 1/2" margin on all 4 sides. It's not that I wish to place part of my project on the edge of the page, it's that sometimes being able to crowd into that 1/2" blank space would be a big help. Is MS Paint designed with a 1/2" margin on all sides? Is there a way to change the margins? Is this a function of my printer instead? What am I doing wrong? All suggestions, ideas, comments any wish to offer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, K.
Is there a chance this is an issue with my HP Envy 4512 instead? Thanks, K.
