We just purchashed a HP T610 printer for printing our maps.
We are at wits end trying to alinge the borders at 1". The X/Y correction is not consisitant and the center to page is not even close. This was never an issue with our old, HP430. We are using C&G software as have been for the past 20 years. Has anyone had this issue and how did you fix it?
Wasting paper and getting nowhere!

I'll be watching this link also. I have a HP Designjet 500 that had been working for a couple of years perfectly with 1" borders around my 18"x24" and 24"x36" sheets, then when I upgraded to a new faster Dell computer using the same Operating system, my margins went to HE@@. After many Hours of tech support from Dell, HP, and PCsurvey. I have no fix. I now create a PDF of all "final" plots and then have them plotted out by a local survey supply co.
HP said they had heard of some of these problems but ultimately they gave up.
Good luck.

Oversize
I find using "oversize arch D" works better than "Arch D" in having a 1" border. Sometime you even have to create a "custom" sheet size.

An update.
After 1 roll of paper and much fudging, we designed a custom paper size. 24x36 is actually 24x25.8", an X offset of -0.2 and a Y offset of -0.185. In paper space we create a 2nd border 1" outside of our Map border, we snap to the outside border and we are able to print a "True" plat with 1" border.
We have not attempted a R/S on maylar yet, hopeing not to waste maylar to get the final product.
It is a relief to know we are not the only ones.
Lehman, when you upgraded, did you change the print driver? We did and I am wondering if that is the issue.
