Printing Craig's Brig Pattern

Post by Wolf »

http://www.eskimo.com/~cwn/brig_craig1.html

ok printed out 1 of the patterns. the 1 inch square comes out more like 7/8 x 7/8 squares. tried to put all 0's in the margin, but it kept putting a small margin in place. HELP? also tried to skew/strech but couldnt find all 4 numbers needed (2 for stretch and 2 for skew) that would make it come out right

Depending on how big or small you are you may need to scale them anyway.

For the record, it seems that if you cut on the INSIDE of his lines that the paterns work better. I suspect this is because he traced his originals onto the graph paper with a marker. and so the INSIDE of the fat line is where the original actualy was.
It looked better in my head....
Damnit.
