Thanks for that Herbert!<br><br>Not only did I miss the inserted spaces, I also didn't think to \noindent the pspicture. It is now more symmetrical and more aligned.<br><br>And I now I have realised that the remaining offset is due to the thickness of the line... Which of course makes sense now that I get it :)<br>

</div>it is not a pstricks problem. You have to pay attention for<br>
inserted spaces from LaTeX:<br>
<br>
\documentclass[portrait, a0b]{a0poster}<br>
\usepackage{pstricks,calc}<br>
<br>
\begin{document}<br>
<br>
\psframebox{% <=== !!!!<br>
\begin{minipage}[c][10cm][c]{\textwidth-2\pslinewidth}<br>
<div class="im"><br>
text<br>
<br>
\end{minipage}% <=== !!!!<br>
}<br>
<br>
\psframebox[framesep=0cm]{% <=== !!!!<br>
</div>\begin{minipage}[c][10cm][c]{\textwidth-2\pslinewidth}<br>
<div class="im"><br>
text<br>
<br>
\end{minipage}% <=== !!!!<br>
}<br>
<br>
\begin{pspicture}(0,0)(\textwidth,10cm)<br>
<br>
\psframe[linecolor=red](0,0)(\textwidth, 10cm )<br>
<br>
\end{pspicture}<br>
<br>
\end{document}<br>
<br>
