About these guides
Every guide is checked against the generator: the example sheets in them are drawn by the same engine that makes your downloads, so the measurements you read are the measurements you get. The date at the bottom of each guide tells you when it was last checked.
If something you need isn't covered, tell us and we will add it. If a printout comes out slightly small, start with printing at actual size and then try the two-minute printer calibration.
