I have printed photos and journal cards for my PL pages on standard A4 paper for years using PS Elements without trouble, including pdf sheets purchased from IACB and elsewhere. Whilst I remember having an issue with some of Kelly Purkey's pdf sheets, formatted on letter sized paper, somehow I managed to print them out on A4 to the correct size eventually - but I can't remember how!
I now have a new PC, humming along where my old one clunked, but the one thing I seem unable to do is to print out accurately sized cards for my PL. My own photos, cropped to 3 x 4in in PS Elements, which always printed out accurately no longer do and a sheet of IACB journal cards (letter size pdf) prints out on A4 with 3x4 cards actually measuring 2⅞in x a little over 3¾in. I wouldn't normally worry about such things but it's irritating to see gaps all around the cards when they're in the pockets, especially if the card behind it is the correct size. I think I have explored every "preference" and option in the software and printer driver...but clearly I'm missing something, somewhere.
Clever friends, does anyone have the answer please? Perhaps there's a bright mathematician who can advise me how to scale up that slightly small rectangle to 3 x 4 inches? I thought that a pdf would always print out at the correct size, regardless of the paper used, but that seems not to be so.
I'd really appreciate some help on this, please!
