It is important to print the ruler at the actual size without scaling. If possible, download the PDF format to have the best possible print quality. Avoid the use of the size of the option to the page and color complete, as they will produce prints of bigger or smaller sizes. Some computer software such as Windows PC might use settings to set page scaling to “none” while some such as Mac computers may use the option to set it to 100%.
We prepared all the measurements in PDF files. When printing out, do not scale the print in your print settings, to make sure that you get the actual size on your print. By scaling the print, you'll lose the accuracy of the preparation of our free printable rulers. When your printer does not allow the print to fit the paper, turn off any margins you have set.

We recommend using a paper cutter to cut out the printed rulers. If you don't have a paper cutter, you can use a sharp knife to make the cut. To make straight cuts, we recommend using a non-printed ruler to guide you when cutting the paper so that you do not cut off any inches.
