Hello!

I'm using Mac (Snow Leopard), CS5, and Epson Printer. 

When I have an image I want to print at 11x14", it ends up slightly oversized.  For example, for the first test set the crop tool to 11x14 and cropped the image as I wanted it.  When I printed this, the actual ink-on-paper was 11.5x14.5".

During the second test, I went into "image size" set "constrain Proportions" on and selected the width to be 13.5" (thinking it might compensate).  Once printed, the image printed at a measured 11.25x14.25".

Finally, I made a new blank document of 11x14" @ 300dpi.  I made a smart object of the image and dragged it into this new document.  It fit perfectly to the 11x14" document with no free transforming needed.  The finished print (again) came out with actual dimensions of 11.5x14.5".

I'm suspecting that this is a really simple, obvious thing that I'm doing wrong, but I'm not seeing it and I was not able to find any relevant threads on the issue.  I hate wasting paper so I thought I would run it by the friends here.

Thanks for any help!
