Print scale calibration

Calculate separate X/Y print corrections and download a 100 mm measuring target.

Your input

Outputs are cleared when the input changes.

Result

Enter your data or use the example, then run the tool.

Worked example

At 100%, a nominal 100 mm X line measuring 95 mm needs 105.2631579%. Y measuring 100 mm stays at 100%: the axes differ.

Method

Each corrected scale equals original scale × nominal length ÷ measured length. Compare both factors instead of silently averaging them.

Limits

The SVG always has 100 mm arms. Custom nominal lengths describe your own test artwork. Scale correction cannot fix translation or mechanical distortion.
