Hi,
I created the attached PDF file using ConTeXt. As you can see I have a green
background, which covers the whole page. However, when I took it to the
printer today and he printed two copies for me, there was some white space
left at four ends. The amount of space above, below, to the left and to the
right was different. Here is my preamble. Can you suggest what I can do so
that the whole page has the chosen green background color.
Thanks very much.

Hi, Curiouslearn,
Generally speaking, many printers can't print a page without white
spaces about 3mm unless you have a marginless printer.

-- print on larger paper and cut off the edges
-- make your layout a bit smaller and cut off the edges
only professional print will print to the edge and even then ...
(normally you will use oversized paper and bleeding)

Or
-- get them to print it on light green paper? :)

Wow! Thanks for the reply. It is interesting the kind of things when using
Context or for that matter any typesetting system. I thought I chose the
letter size for my layout and I am printing it on a letter size paper. Also,
the PDF shows green everywhere. Hence, getting the color on whole page
should be easy. From your responses, it seems it is not possible because of
the way printers are designed.
