Print (black only) out of scale in desktop printer

LightBurn Software Questions
1

Hello,

I am trying to print on a inkjet printer a design I did on lightburn…
problem is that the scale is somehow not matching.

For example, draw a 5cm square
Print it on a piece of paper.

Do you have a 5cm square printed?
When I measure I have 4.8mm.

Kind of weird.
Thanks

Check that no scaling is applied in print settings during the print. Also, inkjets are known to not be very well calibrated. Try printing a square in a different program and compare results.

Note that inkjet miscalibration may be different on the X vs Y axes requiring a non-square scaling factor to correct.
