Before you print
So the size comes out exactly right
- 1
Turn off “fit to page”
Choose 100% or Actual size. Ask the printer to fit the page and the whole sheet shrinks by a few per cent — and the spacing named in this page’s title no longer matches what comes out.
- 2
Match the paper size
Print the A4 file on A4 paper. Printing A4 onto Letter, or the other way round, forces a scale adjustment even with 100% set.

Measure one square after printing
Check it with a ruler. If it is off, the cause is almost always number 1.
- 4
Paper of 80–100 gsm
Ordinary copier paper is enough. For wet ink — a fountain pen or a marker — choose something thicker so it does not bleed through.
