From
the toolbar in your PDF viewer (AdobeReader™,
for example) choose print, and a print control screen
will appear. Here, be sure your printer
is named in the drop-down field.
 We
HIGHLY recommend that you choose "Fit
to Printer Margins"
(Under "Page Scaling" in Adobe Reader) when
you print these designs.
Everyone has slightly different printer margin settings.
The size difference is nominal: a piece designed to
be 7-inches long might be an eighth or sixteenth inch
smaller from your printer, but all proportions
will remain intact. This ensures that all sheets printed
from a single printer will all match one another !
To
be sure your design won't be cropped by your
printer settings,
you can run a test print on regular paper. For a test
run, set your print quality to "Draft":
This
will give you a fast "proof" using minimal
ink. Examine the printed sheet and be sure that the
design is not cropped along the edges. When you know
it is printing correctly, you can run all the sheets
in full color and get started on your Paper Castle!
Our
paper castles designs are based on 8" x 10"
jpg sheets. This is an arbitrary standard we found
ourselves using because it is the optimum dimension
for our digital and print settings. The sheets
are then packaged into a single "PDF", which
preserves the integrity of the proportions and quality
of the pieces, no matter your settings!
When you print, choose "Fit
to Printer Margins", please!
If
you have ANY trouble, please
let us know!
