Chris,

That is what I had to do to my Liberator
I tried it at 100% and on a4 sized sheets, and i was getting parts cut off the page
i shrunk to fit, printed it at 95%

So far so good

Ron also did some testing and sent me results. he only got good consistent results when he set the model to no scaling or forced every page to be a set% like 95%

Might want to consider that!

I just got an email from Marek. He said that to ensure print accuracy you need to print with either no scaling or need to specify the exact % scale to change so all pages are identical.

Chris, what program are you using to print? try photoshop if you have it.

For those who are interested - see my new thread on Adobe printing in the Tutorials section.

Well, people, it comes down to this...

I have spent two hours this morning trying to print parts for this model. For whatever reason, whether it is equipment limitations or operator ineptitude, I cannot get the parts sheets to print out correctly. I keep getting inconsistent scaling, parts running off pages, etc. I've already wasted at least a dozen sheets of card stock and an untold amount of precious color ink. Not only do I still not have what I need to complete this model, I've piddled away a week of modeling time, and all this effort has sort of burnt me out on the project.

So...I'm going to squirrel this one away until I get my hands on some A4 card stock, by which time I may feel like giving it another go.

Chris G, I do hereby relinquish my claim to this model for the purposes of the Marathon. It's now up for grabs.

Cheers!

Chris,
Maybe I can help. When I get a copy of this kit, I will break up the parts to fit letter size stock and send them off to you.You just need to let me know what file type you want to use. Chris (CGutzmer) what do you think of this idea?

Agh! Fly, foul tempter! :D

Alright, if Chris OK's it. PDF is fine.

**cgutzmer** · #50 06-24-2009, 02:10 PM

Yes, pdf is the preference. Please email me cgutzmer at gmail period com and I will get the file to you

Chris - no worries I hope someone else prints this and helps us figure out if its a hardware error or what. Marek looked it over a couple times and cant find any issues from his side.
