I have created an image in Inkscape, it will be a label for a product so I needed it to bee of just the right size when it prints out. Now I have the core in vector drawing but I wanted to add some background, and that was a bitmap image (jpeg in fact). Now, on the screen it looks just perfect, but when I print it the bitmap image goes about two millimiters down and right from the vector frame where it just while ago fit so neatly.

How can I fix this problem and why is it so? Is it really impossible to create such an image and print it just the right size, millimeter by millimeter.

I found the same problem even with multiple objects in the same or different layers. Everything looks fine on the monitor but when printed nothing is aligned.
For me the work-around is to export to PDF format and then to print the PDF file.

You can try giving "integer" positions (x and y) to the image; it seems inkscape has some problems when images are not on a precise pixel.
