Very good!

Daniel,

Your document has another problem ---if you use A2 instead of A3 as 
paper size, you'll see your document has a page number. You need to put

\thispagestyle{empty}

right after \begin{document}. If you want to be sure your text area is 
centered (it is), use the crop package with an extra 2cm per side; then, 
when your done, you can comment out the crop line before sending your 
work to the printing shop. What I would do, then, is this:

\documentclass{book}
\setlength{\parskip}{0mm}%
\setlength{\parindent}{0mm}%
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}
\geometry{
   xetex,
   paperwidth=297mm,paperheight=420mm,landscape,
   centering,twoside=false,
   ignoreall,
   textheight=284mm,textwidth=400mm,
   truedimen,
%  showframe
   }
\usepackage[cam,width=440mm,height=324mm,center]{crop}
\begin{document}%
\thispagestyle{empty}
\psset{unit=1mm}%
\begin{pspicture}(-200,-142)(200,142)%
 
\psframe[fillstyle=none,linestyle=dotted,linecolor=blue](-200,-142)(200,142)%
\end{pspicture}%
\end{document}%

Best
