Nonimageable area  The nonimageable area is between the two sets of dotted lines 
representing any nonprintable margin of the page. 
Edge of the page  The page edge is indicated by the outermost set of dotted lines.
Artboard  The artboard is bounded by solid lines and represents the entire region that 
can contain printable artwork. By default, the artboard is the same size as the page, but it 
can be enlarged or reduced. The U.S. default artboard is 8.5" x 11", but it can be set as large 
as 227" x 227". You can choose to show or hide the artboard.
Scratch area  The scratch area is the area outside the artboard that extends to the edge 
of the 227-inch square window. The scratch area represents a space on which you can 
create, edit, and store elements of artwork before moving them onto the artboard. 
Objects placed onto the scratch area are visible on-screen, but they do not print.
