Note to self – Print to scale with EPSON WF

Non-borderless printing

In the system dialog of the printer settings there is a tab for additional settings. There, one will find an additional option for scaling the document. Activate the option if not yet active and then set it to 100%. This made sure, at least for my prints, that the resulting print is to scale.
This drove me nuts for ages where I just couldn“t get eurorack module panel layouts print to scale.

Borderless printing

When having to print something borderless, like overlays for the BCR2000 controller, just telling the printer to leave everything to scale did not do the trick.
The important settings are

  • Uncheck “Fit to frame” in the main printing dialog
  • Select “borderless” in printer settings
  • In settings for borderless, select “Automatic” for scaling with factor set to minimum
