> GEMS outputs its ballot image using whatever printer settings it is given, so this should be possible. Just set the paper setting to 8.5/11 and tweak the print offsets -- much like printing BOD to the 5si.
> One question I have though is how do they deal with the cut marks? Typically print shops print on paper larger than 8.5/11 and then cut to size using these marks. If they are printing directly to 8.5/11 stock then make sure they are aware of our registration tolerances.
