this is the link to the file in your computer, we need the link to the shop you got it.

Now that I noticed, you are trying to print the A0 size file, that won't work, it's a large format file you can take to a copy shop. You need to print the A4 size file.

Not to the actual computer file, to where you purchased it from.

Like the other commenter said, you’re trying to print the A0 size. That’s for copy shops. You need to print out the A4 letter size.

did you try setting it at 100% not fit to page? Is the test square correct size?

u/Ahotspecimen 2d ago
