Printing PCB Artwork

PDF files containing the PCB artwork are generated for an A4 paper size.

When printing the artwork you should ensure that the printer driver does not re-size the document to fit the printer / paper size you are using.  Check that page scaling and document sizes are correct before printing even if you're paper size is set to A4.

I also recommend printing a test copy onto plain paper, then place the PIC microcontroller IC onto the printed artwork to make sure the pins on the actual chip align with the pads on the artwork.
