Nevertheless, after you have printed the ruler, you can simply cut it out with a scissor to have a nice ruler. The reason is the A4 sheet because it is only 29.7 cm long and standard printers cannot print without margins. If the ruler would be parallel to the edge of the page, it would not be possible to offer a 30 cm and a 12-inch ruler. Why is the „print-ruler' not parallel to the page? So always make sure you make a 100 % print of your ruler, that your measuring result is absolutely accurate. Since a ruler is a measuring instrument, 1 centimeter must be 1 centimeter.
Most printers print in the standard-setting a slightly reduced version of the original.
That is super important for your measuring experience.
The most important thing for printing your ruler is to make sure that you print a 100% printout. Start now and simply download our „print-ruler“ template, print it out (see how it works in detail above) and you can start measuring what ever you want.
