I have 2 different scanners and 2 different computers having 2 different operating systems (WIN and Ubuntu) ... and I am having the same problem with each.
When I scan something and print it ... the scanned image prints out smaller images than the original was.
On one machine I have Windows as the op system and Microsoft Color. This computer has the HP Deskjet 2050
On the other machine I have Ubuntu as the op system and Gimp. this computer has the Canon Lide
Although I have used the scanner software ... I have also by-passed using the scanner software and I have used the scanner in the software Color and Gimp, scanned directly into them and the image still shrinks.
THIS is weird. I just don't understand why I can't get an exact copy and print it out.
In trying this method, I have approached it with two different originals. One drawing is on a letter (US Letter size 8.5X11) ... putting my drawing on a smaller sheet of paper. No change.
I also have switched back and forth between pixels and mm ... no change.
Resolution quality doesn't change anything.
FWIW, about my "drawings". I made my drawing onto a piece of cardstock and cut them out. I use these as a template to trace around the outline onto letter size paper. My drawings just couldn't get any simpler.
I'd like to say that I give up and just take it to a print shop and have it scanned ... but that really doesn't solve anything.
I can't believe I started on this Curtiss F6C-4 Hawk project Sept 17, 2012 and this is as far as I've gotten.
