What Is the Guaranteed Imageable (Printable) Area?

The printable area on all media sizes is

Page Margins

Margins are set through your application. Some applications allow you to set custom page sizes and margins while others have only standard page sizes and margins from which to choose. If you choose a standard format, you may lose part of your image (due to imageable area constraints). If you can custom -size your page in your application, use those sizes given for the imageable area for optimum results.
