How to Print Your Pottery Templates (So They Come Out the Right Size)
Here’s the simple way to print your pottery templates at the right size, every time.
1. Open the PDF with a real PDF reader
Use Adobe Acrobat, Preview (Mac), or similar. Avoid printing directly from your browser.
2. Choose the right paper size before printing
To make sure your templates come out at the correct scale, please match the paper size to each collection:
Tiny Vessels
US Letter (8.5 × 11 in / 21.6 × 27.9 cm)
A4 (210 × 297 mm / 21 × 29.7 cm)
Daily Vessels
US Legal (8.5 × 14 in / 21.6 × 35.6 cm)
Oficio (216 × 340 mm / 21.6 × 34 cm)
3. Turn OFF all scaling
This is the most important step.
In the print window:
Set Scale = 100%
OR choose “Actual Size”
OR uncheck “Fit to page”
❌ Do NOT use “Fit,” “Shrink,” or “Fill.”
4. Assemble (if tiled pages)
If your template is split across multiple pages:
Trim the margins
Match the markers
Tape them together
Now you have your full-size pottery template
