What these files can tell you
The test PDFs contain known digital measurements. A printed result lets you compare your selected settings with a physical ruler. They cannot certify printer calibration, detect the cause of a mismatch or predict every part of the page.
The reference PDFs give calculated dimensions and scale limits. They are not page templates to trace. Read the assumptions beside the table before applying a percentage.
How the files were checked
PDF page sizes and reference geometry are checked in the files, and the rendered layouts are inspected. These checks verify the digital documents; they are not claims of physical printer testing. All four resources were created for Printsize Lab.
For another conversion, use the print scale calculator. For front/back problems, follow the alignment guide.
