my document shrinks, help!

Can anybody help!

How come when I make up a new document in quark and then import and place a picture from say photoshop.
When I print the document the image shrinks to a diffrent size???
I'm going nuts trying to work it out.
The picture box is big enough, I have even made it enormous, but when I place the picture what I get as result still is a smaller image than if I had printed it with photoshop.
Please help!

When you print an image from Quark Xpress it will print at the size you set it up as.

i.e. If you make a Quark page that is 210mm x 297mm (A4). And put a picture box measuring 100mm x 150mm on it. Then put a picture in that box so it fills the box. When you print the page the image WILL be 100mm x 150mm (unless you specify a %age reduction in your print setup).

When you output an image from Photoshop the size it prints is dependant on it's physical dimensions and it's resolution.

Hi,
So I did all that.
In shop my image size is w19.15 h 10.16
when I print and meazure my image the size is w19.15 and 10.16.
In quark I've made a new doc A4, with a picture box w 19.15 and H 10.16 I've got and placed the image in the box.
next when I print and measure my image is W18.3 and 9.7, but on my screen it still tells me that the size is correct?????
What and Why????
Is it gone mad?

What are you printing to?
