PRINTING PROBLEMS--TRY THIS

[bbquiltmaker]

The paper our Australian designer used is A4--commonly used in Australia and other countries. It is slightly different from 8.5" x 11", the US standard.

One of our members, BleuRose, just posted that she changed her HP printer setting to A4 paper instead of "Letter" size, the US standard, and it worked perfectly.

I just checked it with my HP printer and got the same result--perfect 1" box.

I can't guarantee this will work for everyone and every print, but if you still have a printing problem, try this if your printer has an A4 setting.

Hi.....I have only my(android) phone which is set up to print to my 5(?) yr old epson xp400 printer. Never had problem with printing accurate size until pattern for blk 1.!! My first solution was gradually increasing size. Ended up printing at 103%..
THEN yesterday watched video of B.B. about problems. Heard her mention aussie paper size(A4). Always wondered what that was. Well, this a.m. decided to try it. On my print preview there is a drop down menu for paper size. Changed to A4 and VOILA!! Perfect size

I download the file to my computer and then print from the downloaded file. That works for me. Janet

This is exactly what we recommend. Glad you are successful.

I am so so frustrated.. I can not print an accurate sized pattern. Tried all the tips, A4, increasing size and printing from downloaded pdf... any other options available.. can someone print for me and drop in the mail to me along with the template for background cutting... hoping to gat started before the website is down for upgrades. Thanks so much.

Lisa, are you downloading the file first, opening it back up in Adobe? Once you get into Adobe and print from there it will give you an option called Actual Size. The key is NOT to print it without downloading it and going back into the document to print. DON'T print from the website. Hope this helps.

Lisamarie4, the background cutting PDFs don’t have to be exactly the right size, the graphics are just visuals. Cut the rectangles the sizes listed and cut as shown.

Hi,
I cannot get the proper size to print. I have tried letter and A4 size paper and set the printer to actual size. Any other hints to try. We are on lockdown so cannot go to a store to have anything printed.
Thanks

What type of printer (make/model) do you have and what are you printing from (computer, iPad, phone)?

[bmbqu1530]

Hi,
I am printing from my desktop computer. I have an HP 8710.

Thanks for any help.
