Trouble figuring out printpapersize and small fonts

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Rgould,

1 inch is 72 px. It should be easy to make calculate printing  
dimensions once you know this.

I've never had any problems printing small fonts on the Mac. Could it  
be a problem with your label writer? What if you use AppleWorks/iWork  
or perhaps a programme like Filemaker to print from?

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
