Can anyone advise me on printing plans please?
Having built a few FT models using 'printed at home & stuck together' A4 plans, I decided to get full sized plans for my next two projects (master series Spitfire & P38) printed on A1, which I thought, was the format they were drawn on. However, two different print shops I tried both said that they did not print out at the correct scale on A1, (slightly too small) so would need to be on A0 sized sheets. This was not a big problem to do, just the eye watering cost - £2.50 per sheet here in the UK and the P38 alone is 8 sheets. Really defeats the object of trying to build budget models.
Anyone know why the plans won't print on A1 correctly?
