@lizpscully My healthy green tea wasn’t quite cutting it, in fact, so I am supplementing it a little :) instagr.am/p/I1108AJC-l/

@lizpscully It’s hard, this rockstar lifestyle, but I do it as best I can.

@tsunimee (Basically, take the size, in inches, of whatever you’re printing, and multiply it by the printer dpi; 300dpi is decent guess.)

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee It depends on the printer, but for a 300dpi (i.e. pretty good quality) printer, A3 (*without* margins) will be 3507x4960.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee That’ll be because, annoyingly, printer resolutions are normally in dots per inch (dpi) not metric.

@tsunimee *Sharpens knives meaningfully* *whistles innocently* Yes?

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee For A4 with 1cm margins, yes.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee That’s roughly right; 620/438 = 1.416. Probably a bit off from 1.414 simply because it’s rounding to the nearest pixel.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee A4, 210x297, with 1cm off each edge, is 190x277. Aspect = 0.686. So to match 1024, try 1024x702.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee There’s your problem, mathematically. Taking 1cm off each edge actually changes the aspect ratio. Hang on.

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee Those ratios look pretty damn close to me. Is it the margins that are a problem? Can you turn them off/make them zero width?

via Echofon in reply to tsunimee

@the3rdgirl That just sounds like the setup for an episode of Casualty. And I’m not *that* perverted.

@tsunimee Erm. That says 768. Not 728 or 748.

via Tweetbot for iOS in reply to tsunimee

@tsunimee @ahnlak 1024/768 = 1.333. 297/210 = 1.414. To match 1024 pixels in A4 ratio you’d need 1024x724 (roughly.)

@tsunimee @ahnlak A4 is 210mm wide, 297mm long, so that’s the ratio.

Huzzah! Finally caught up on sleep, and woken up not feeling too bad. Now to gently laze until an evening of board games.
