30 note PDF printout out by 0.5%

Postby MRutley » Tue Oct 04, 2016 10:41 am

Hi,
When I print out the 30 note PDF I have created at 100%, it is just slightly out in line with the pre printed strips. (This is the case with 2 different printers.)

I've tried experimenting and 100.5% is almost there. Unfortunately this cuts off the top note line. I am sad. Is there anyway I can overcome this to shunt the print down the page a bit?

thanks Miranda

Hi

I need to generate a new build for windows 10, I'll have a look at this at the same time.

In the meantime, in the same location as the pdf should be a jpg of the strip (the pdf just embeds the jpg at what is meant to the the correct scale, supposedly for convenience), so you could try printing that instead.

cheers,
grant

I am sorry, I have to assist MRutley, the width of the printed PDF-Strip is about 67 mm where it should be 70 mm.
(MBC-stand-alone running under Linux)
Do You have any suggestions, how to print out the .jpg ? Has to be split? In which way?

Best regards, jeb!

Living in Germany, I´m used to print on A4 paper, which has a size of 210 * 297 mm; now I opened the pdf with The GIMP, and look, the strips are exactly of the right size, but the pdf is in Letter-format, which is 6 mm wider than A4 (and which I am not used to even think of ;-) So I guess, my printer-driver scales the whole thing down automatically, unless I lie to him, that he was fed with Letter-size paper...,

Best regards, jeb!

Hi everyone,

Can you tell me how to find the jpg please. I have a Bach piece to print out and I need it the right size as it's so complicated.

Thank you
Miranda

First of all: my guess about the printer-driver was wrong, changing paper-sizes there didn´t help at all :-(

The (not really satisfying) solution for me was to open the pdf within The GIMP (for non-linuxers: The Gnu Image Manipulation Programme, something like photoshop under windows) extract the jpg-s (which are already split within the pdf) cut them to an appropriate size, and then print them on A4 paper. The resulting strip works fine.

@ MRutley:
Hi Miranda!
The jpg should be in the same folder, where the pdf is, as far as I can see. Probably it will be much too large, to be printed out as one piece.
If you´re not familiar with photoshop (or even The GIMP) and the file is not too large, send me an email with the pdf(!) attached, that you want to print out, and I will look what I can do for you to send back the already split jpg-s.

Best regards, jeb!

Hi,

Thanks, I've emailed the pdf to you.

Best wishes

(my daughter is trying to do it free hand, but I'm not holding out much hope)
