Yes, CellMargins is the value you want for individual cells. There is also a
global printing margin (PrintingOptions->{"PrintingMargins"}) to which all
individual CellMargins values are added. As discussed in the documentation fo
rCellMargins, the values of CellMargins are specified in printer's points. A
printer's point is 1/72nd of an inch.
When modifying the value, make sure to modify the Printout environment of the
Text style. E.g.,
Cell[StyleData["Text", "Printout"], CellMargins->{{20, Inherited}, {Inherited,
Inherited}}]
