Major breakthrough for me tonight! I tried this and also fixed an issue I was having with printing.

I recently got a printer and could not get it to print at 100% scale which meant no matter how accurate I got the templates on screen, they never printed to scale. It was as if the printer was automatically scaling down by 5%.

I've been using GIMP to scale my templates and for anyone else who does the same, make sure you do the following:

view > dot for dot

Make sure the checkbox next to 'dot to dot' is unchecked.

Boom. Instant fix. So, I gave printing to tracing paper a try, transferred the template that way and it's so much better so thank you.

Any tips on getting rid of pencil marks though?
