Q: How big is the printed page area in pixels (of a letter-sized page)?\
\
A: The total size of an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper is 612 x 792 pixels, given that PS default coordinates are 72 dpi (just multiply the dimensions of the paper by 72). However, the "printable area" of a letter-sized page depends on your printer; some printers can get closer to the edge than others. There currently is no way to determine the printable area of a given printer for a given paper size in the Appkit. Because we don't have this knowledge, the Appkit will sometimes try to draw outside the printable area of the printer.\

Whether a View gets paginated by the Appkit depends on a lot of different things. First of all, applications can choose whether to do their own pagination or let the Appkit do it. If they let the Appkit do it, then it takes into account margins and other parameters when deciding whether the View fits on a single page or needs to be paginated.\
