Newbie printing question.

[shaylou]

I have a new printer and working with Lightroom 5. When I size a print is it normal for the top and bottom border of the print to have different spacing. I mean it's like the picture is not centered vertically. The sides have the same border spacing. I want to add that it doesn't happen on smaller print sizes. It seems to start happening when I go up in size like 8.5 x 11 or so.
Thanks for your help.

Anyone?

There is a similar thread discussing this. Borders, especially small borders where a difference is noticable, are a pain in the arse when it comes to printing. Mechanical tolerances and the printers magnifying a touch to be able to provide full bleed make a small even border a real test.

what printer are you using?... epson printers have a setting to centre the printable area.
