Looking at the numbers, it looks like Rev is adding together the card
coordinates and the print rect, so you are getting 76 pixels from the
left and 229 pixels from the top, which is about one inch and three inches.
What happens if you do this instead:
set the printmargins to 72,72,697,451
print this card from 4,157 to 719,554
Untested, but worth a try.
