It must be my settings (Page 2): I'm using pre-cut mounts, so I need the full 8x10 image. Thanks for your suggestion.

It's exactly what I said above.
The image is of the wrong aspect ratio for the print you're trying to make.

You've got the 'crop to fit' box ticked. Untick that.

If your paper really is 8 1/2x11, set the paper size to that.
Then change the image size to 7.5x10
That will leave you with a full image and a 1/2 inch border all the way around.

I cant seem to get this right. My prints never seem to print the same size as what is shown on my monitor. I'm using PSE11 and a Epson Artisan 1430 printer. I set my image size to 8x10 and my printer to that size also. Always a piece missing from the left hand side of the print. Any idea's from you guy's or Ladies would be appreciated.

All I can tell you is that your printer IS capable of printing borderless 8 X 10:

There is obviously something you do not understand about the process. Making good quality prints is not easy and also expensive. You have given us very little information to help. Read the manual, as there are numerous option to work, and keep trying until you understand what the problem is. Experience is the best teacher.

I think the image you are trying to print is widescreen 16.9.

Thank everyone for their help. Wall-E gave me an explanation that helped and I think I have it sorted out now. Again, Thanks to you all, Except CTHAHN who was no help at all.
