How Do I Print with Even Margins?

When you print on a bordered layout, the margins on the left and right or the top and bottom may become wider than the other, depending on the image and printer.

To always print with even margins, check Always trim when you select the layout with the margins on the Advanced tab of the Preferences dialog box.
Preferences Dialog Box

Trim the photo to apply even margins individually.
Trimming Photos

Trimming Photos

Trimming is the act of removing the unnecessary portions of the photo by selecting the necessary portions.

Click 'Trimming'... on the 3. Layout/Print tab of the Print Setting screen.
Move the white frame to the portion to keep, and then click 'OK'.

Reference

To move the trimming area, place the mouse pointer within the white frame and drag it. Drag the white lines to adjust the trimming area.

Check The Rule of Thirds to display white broken lines. To create a balanced composition, drag any of the intersecting points (white squares) or white broken lines over the main subject of the photo.

The trimming effect applies only to the print result. The original image will not be trimmed.

See the following section for details.
