Before you press Print
- Scale 100 percent.Choose “Actual size”, not “Fit to page”. At 94 percent a 5 mm grid comes out at 4.7 mm. Print settings guide
- Match the tray. A4 is 17.6 mm taller and 5.9 mm narrower than Letter, so download the size that is actually in your printer.
- Leave margins alone. Every template keeps at least 8 mm clear of the edge, inside what home printers can reach. How we measure
