I followed every tutorial that is online and the print is either way too big or way too small. Is there any software that has a template I can use or something? I used to have something like that and it worked great. Nothing I try is working.

Well, i print directly from photoshop and works every time. But if you open the picture from a picture viewer like the one windows use it doesn't print the right size.

Try printing from photoshop or something similar

Use MS Paint (the one that comes with all Windowses)

1. Set First chec the DPI from the properties.

If 96 use scaling at 32%.
If 300 all is fine so far. Go to point 2.

2. Check that fit to paper is off, scaling is set to 100%, centering is set on on both horizontal and vertical, orientation is set to Landscape, and the paper you are using is A4 or Legal.

Did this help?

It toke me probably half a stack of paper to figure out everything the first time. Make sure to write it all down as you figure it out.

I remember when I used to try to fit cart scans. I got that right the first time. Lol. I've done this on and off for years but i used to use software that had templates that worked. i forgot what software it was though. I was never able to do it like this until just now. Lol.
