I'd just decide which printer I liked and tweak the positioning and font sizes until I was happy with the result.

Mind you I've never had a printer that didn't print things the right size...

Hi

 a while ago I had problems with a PDF pcb design from the US
part way through rescaling noticed the design was for a US / imperial  paper size
and the printer defaulted to A4

In reply to John's note/observation, isn't it nice we can have so many differing systems that work fine with each other, but just can't completely figure out how to scale to each other's base line.  I find the same thing sort of amusment trying to go from Imperial to US or metric to US, and not knowing the defaults or standard practices.  I think it's good just because it causes our brains to hurt, and makes us come up with independent solutions.  I will be printing things for my build when I've got this whole thing fingered out, I'm still having a bit of a time finding pc board here in the colonies, or I should say board without holes and plated through already.  But the store has ferric chloride, just in case you want to etch those plated through boards.  I grudging left with a tub of rosin and 556 ic, dual 555 timer, and no board.  I expect I'll have to find it on the internet. :bang: mad jack

madjack,

You want to get into programming PIC's (or similar), with only a few lines of code a 8 pin PIC can do everything a 555 or 556 can do with less components and cheaper!
And being programmable, it can do an awful lot more!

Why not draw the enclosure and / or keypad in a CAD program for precision instead of an art program ??
