Printing Tips

Hi all,

I think here we have some good advices to shortly get a good printing results:

1) Print only ONE sheet and check that the design has the right features (dimensions and colors).

2) Printers tend to resize the sheet, ruining the right dimensions of each part. Set the printer to print the normal size, without fitting to the paper size.

3) Printers tend to automate the color management. Set the printer in custom mode and select the best combination of colors (photo or graph), lightness and intensity in order to match your attended result. Take note of those settings and repeat the same for each sheet. In this way the final model will have the same look in each part.

4) Set the right paper type for the best result.

5) A heavy cardstock is suggested to build a strong structure with more than one floor or dedicated to metal miniatures. A white glue will help in this way as well.

If you have more advices or like to correct the above sentences, add them here.
