Precise Printing

Hi,

If I create a rectangle shape with a width of 10 * 72 / 25.4 and then print
it and measure the width with digital calipers, the actual width is 10.87 mm
not 10 mm.

That's nearly a whole centimeter out!

Can anyone tell me why please and how to print a rectangle of 10 mm width?

I actually want to get the precision down to under 1/2 mm.

TIA
Lisa

Hello Lisa,

The easiest way to obtain that level of accuracy is buy a CAD program or other third party software designed for fine printing. Windows is not setup to print at resolutions you want. It is possible to override the settings using API functions, but that really isn't practical due to the complexity involved.

Sincerely,
Leith Ross
