    Default Getting printer to print actual size...

    I use an Epson 1400 to print transparencies, and recently noticed that it prints a little bit larger than the actual file size. Through a little math, I found that in the print dialog, if I adjust the print size to 96.8%, the prints will come out the exact size they are on the file. Is there a way to adjust the printer to print a tad smaller, or do I always need to do this when printing something that has to be a specific size? Thanks for any input...

    Sometimes there is a fit to paper size option or some thing like that in the print dialog box. Make sure that is unchecked. Or select the Do Not Scale option.

    Good advice.
    Sometimes client files corrupt this for me. You've got to get in the habit of watching this if you are using a lot of other peoples files.
