Whenever I print one of my rooms on Minutes Matter, it comes out stretched. I've reset the computer and the printed, and also changed the ink (needed, I didn't think this would be a fix on its own) & still no luck. I haven't seen any settings set to "fit to page" or anything - is that something that is somewhere besides the "Print" page? Chance I'm missing it but I don't know where else to look. Thanks in advance.

Stretched page when printed

You're printing directly from Studio, Control/P or Print from the drop down menu on the left under the raspberry icon? Have you tried exporting the rendering and printing using your photo software? If you use Irfanview, you can select the settings that will make your rendering print exactly as you want it, crop it and even add your watermark. One more question, is your original Studio layout page setup in legal or regular letter size?Attached Files

Printing using Ctrl P and the drop down under the raspberry icon both have it stretched out. It's regular letter size. I have tried exporting but the color rendering shows up SO much darker, almost a grey scale in comparison to the colors used on MM so that's a temporary fix but it doesn't really match what we have.

can you attach your .mms file so that we can try printing it? or send it to me directly corky301@aol.com

OK, I printed out the page entitled CSBoreal directly from Studio and it appears to be the correct scale, not stretched. I also exported it and opened in Irfanview, see the box Print Size -- Original Size fromImage DPI
Are you having the same problem with all the pages in that file? What type of printer are you using?Attached Files

Okay, thanks. Just wanted to make sure I was doing the same thing you were! Yes, it is a problem with others as well. I just tried that. It seems like it's something with the printer then, right?

Seems that way to me. Try exporting the image, then go through all your printer's options for Advanced Printing and see if you can alter the settings to keep it the original size you see in Studio. You should be able to see the way it will look in the printer's preview. sorry I couldn't come up with a fix. Let us know what else you try. This is a problem I haven't encountered. Maybe Debbie can lend her expertise.

Hi Beverly, When your printer setting is as Merlyn described "Print as in Document" or something similar and NOT "Fit to Page" it should print correctly. Were you able to click on "Print Setup - look for Advanced button" not "Page Setup" and look at the options like Merlyn's screenshot?
Has this been happening for a while or did it just begin?

It needed... to be... in landscape... a week and a half of not being able to print/printing countless stretched out pages and the fix was to switch to landscape. Wow.

Oh no! Poor thing! Did you find that in the “printer setup?”

That's too bad, but it is also weird... I thought the page orientation chosen in Studio should match the orientation as a default when printing. Just tried an experiment using the same rendering in both portrait and landscape mode. When I click on Control/P and look at the Properties, the orientation is matched correctly and automatically each time under Layout. So your problem should not have happened!
