Print size larger than Photoshop image size

[freddies_dad]

Hi all,

I was just trying to print a passport-type photo I'd taken. I'd set it up to be 35mm x 45mm. However, when I print it (at 100%) the image is actually 37mm x 47mm.

Does anyone know the reason for this? Am I doing something stupid/wrong?

I am using Photoshop CS and an Epson R1800. Any more info needed/useful?

Thanks in advance!
Phil.

I wonder if this is common to Epson printers?

I have a similar problem printing from PSP XI to my Epson Photo 900 - I carefully size and position the image to get an even white border all round, and when it prints, the right-hand and final border (as printed) is much narrower than the first and left borders, because the image has printed slightly larger than specified.

Possibly. I use a Canon printer and the size seems to be accurate when I print at 100%.

my old Epsom always got the sizes wrong, my new HP gets them pretty much spot on. As nothing else has changed in the system I'd guess the printer could be the culprit!
