Unfortunately, there is going to be a trade-off between the margins and
sheer readability; also, you HAVE to leave a certain amount of space for
people to write their info on the lines. The Laurel staff "sweated blood"
over the design of the basic templates (none more so than Laurel herself,
I know, I was on that staff) and the small margins were considered a
necessary price to pay for the other objectives. We might be able to get
1/2 inch margins all around, but I rather doubt we can do anything bigger.
ESPECIALLY on the armory forms where the picture ***MUST*** be a certain
size or Laurel will return it.
