Type-size comparison sheet / LETTER

A good fit for your idea?

Scale, fold, trim and front/back alignment are different checks. Follow the procedure for this sheet.

Inside this edition

A printing diagnostic, not a certified measuring instrument.

From file to finished page

  1. Choose the paper size loaded in your printer and open the matching PDF.
  2. Print at actual size when dimensions matter. Check a known dimension; this edition has no labeled scale-reference line.
  3. Use the selected sheet’s printed guides and labels for the task. Choose the page or layout that matches the work instead of printing every variant.
  4. Keep a master copy and work on a duplicate when annotations or repeated use are required.
Printing and use notes

Make one trial on ordinary paper before using special stock or preparing a batch. No physical test result is claimed.

Duplex alignment trial sheet

Compare front and back placement in a two-sided trial. Follow this sheet’s duplex procedure rather than applying a fold-only check to a printing-alignment problem.

Fold-alignment test

Compare a crease with the supplied center and mirrored marks. This is a single-sided fold-alignment check, distinct from the duplex trial sheet.
