Correct me if I'm wrong but I think what Rolf means is that the page margins 
determine your print boundries. Anything outside of the margins will not be 
printed. So if your left margin is 2", anything within that 2" strip will not 
be printed. If a graphic overflows into that margin, it will be chopped off. 
I found this out the hard way so now I set all of my page margins to 0 and 
just use the guides instead.
