The printmargins measure from the place where your printer can first lay 
down ink. Most printers have a required minimal margin that is between 
1/4 and 1/2 inch wide. Rev's printmargins don't know about that white 
space, so you must subtract it from your scripted printmargins. Every 
printer is a little different.

Also, if card objects are not placed against the very leftmost and/or 
topmost edge of the card, it will look like you have extra margins. You 
don't really, but the whole card is printing and the space between the 
left edge of the objects and the left edge off the card will be empty.
