Remember when dealing with margins that the margins represent the amount of space around the rect of the card itself. If your fields or other controls are not at the very edges of the card, then they will be inset more than just the margin amounts.

Because of this last point, when I print to PDF I always arrange my field(s) on the card so the margins are what I want, and then set the printmargins to 0. That way there's no guesswork.
