Yeah it knows it's printing A4, but it can't print edge-to-edge, if you print a black rectangle the white borders are not a uniform size.
If you created a document using an A4 template and measured objects within this document using millimetres, when printed the objects would not be printed at exactly that size.
I know this because I've tried to do exactly that, and tried various permutations - on my specific printer I found that the warping was sometimes non-linear along the vertical axis! Maybe I've just got a particularly crap printer... Oh, Brother!
- chrismorgan 3y agoBeing able to print edge-to-edge is not necessary, and is mostly to do with practical feeding limitations. Alignment on the sheet is also allowed to suffer. But of what it does print, I’ve printed and observed printed a number of precise things on several different printers (mostly lasers, but at least one inkjet and a phaser, way back) with no visible warping. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
