Re: Problems while printing ovelays to a *IPDS printer

["Schadd D Gray" <list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Check the printer you are using, it may have area near the edge that is not
printable because of ink bleed.  We had that issue with an overlay printing
on a HP 5si.  We had to shrink the overlay to allow for the printers
required edge.
