Hi I can't get my pdf to print out at the correct size. Tried changing sizes , even tried it on another printer still the same. Little box that you have to measure is coming up 1/2 more than it should be.

Any advice would be great , 

ps it's a chalk and notch fringe dress.

thanks

Have you got your printer set to print at 100%?

I think so as it's printed out patterns before and no problem and I haven't changed setting. My printer doesn't give you an option for that only a4 or a5

On most printers there should be a box to tick for "full size" or "scale" and a percentage where you can change it to 100

Are you printing from a laptop/pc? 
if printing from your phone, there isn't normally a scale option so its normally off by a few.

auto i found selected auto select for the portrait/landscape setting also helps. 

the 100% would be from the software you are using to print not the actual computer.
