![]() Printing a 72dpi drawing on a 75dpi printer will translate 150mm to 143mm (or thereabouts). Inkscape defaults to 72 dpi but many printers default to 75dpi. Styxlawyer wrote:My guess is that you have different resolution settings (dots per inch - dpi) on your Inkscape drawing from that of which the printer is capable. ![]() I did select "Actual Size" when printing each. I tried saving to a pdf using the Inkscape save box dialog settings "Use documents page size" and then again using "Use exported objects size", both giving the same results. The test rectangle is evenly shrunk in all directions. (Regular print papers are not so good for printing photographs, though that could only produce tiny I agree, I don't think this is printer sloppiness. On large format plan printer, I could see inaccuracy in ink tone not being consistent along the whole width -probably the machine would need an inner cleaning up-, but cannot recall more than 3 mm discrepancy (The paper slipped while being pulled? Have no idea.)Īnother thing, if you print on better paper, the ink "wont leak" and you can achieve a higher resolution. On an A4 paper, 7 mm error for 150 mm is too large for printer sloppiness. That is working for me to print in 1:1 scale. Pdf viewer's print option bringing up the print settings, there is always a "print actual size" choice. Have never printed myself straight from inkscape svg, but drawings saved as pdf-s. I think you'd have to have a pretty fancy printer, to print that get the same results using the rulers or the H and W fields. It seems like just that vibration could cause a line to be a few millimeters off. Something goes back and forth on a bar and sprays out ink onto the paper. I mean, I see how my printer works (when it works, which it hasn't in a long time). (Set the guides precisely, not by visually aligning to rulers.)Īlthough, I can see how different printers could produces variations. Instead, I would suggest using the the H and W fields in the Selection tool control bar (or the Rectangle tool control bar also allows you to set the dimensions precisely). I think you'd have to have a pretty fancy printer, to print that precisely.īrynn wrote:First, I would suggest not using the rulers, if you need precise measurement. ![]() I've never tried to print an Inkscape drawing, so I'm not very knowledgeable about printing issues.Īlthough, I can see how different printers could produces variations. If you set the size precisely using those controls, and still see some discrepancy.well, someone else will have to help. (Set the guides precisely, not by visually aligning to rulers.) First, I would suggest not using the rulers, if you need precise measurement.
