Home printers and their ability to align when printing

by patrickcrowley Feb 3, 2009 6:07AM PST

Three part question:
What are the most common color printers in homes today?

Can paper be positioned or adjusted in their trays to print out squarely so the copy or photos are not tilted or another words the copy will print parallel to the edge?

Example, if your up for it. I have a 5 point ruled box printed on a sheet that I want to put into a printer (most common printers in homes today) and reprint on the sheet a photo that I will place into a word doc. that matches the same coordinates, what are the chances of getting that photo in the 5 point ruled box. Oh the box on the word template is has a 2 point ruled box and the 2 point align to the center of the 5 point box.

Thank you very much in advance!

Current home printers don't get it exactly perfect. This is why you put crop marks on the page and trim them to perfection. Think about how the print shops do this.
