Hi @kennylch 

It looks like the issue could be related to the aspect ratio of the report canvas. I suggest changing the canvas size to 4:3, which corresponds to the A4 paper size. After adjusting the canvas size, place your visualizations where you need them, and then try printing again. This should help reduce the blank space you're seeing.

Change the scale from 70 % to "Default"
