topopiccione pcb printing

[dj_death]

High there, happy new year!
I'm interested in building the Boss dim-C at topoppiccione and i wonder if the pcb gif file needs to be opened by a specific program to print it at 1:1 size or simply it needs resizing. I have built the Badstone phaser but i can't remember if i resized the image or it had the correct size.

Please could you confirm the source of this PCB.

Oops! one more "p" ruined your search!

My experience with layouts from there was that they printed out fine if I put them at (I believe) 300 dpi. I printed them from Preview on my Mac.   Easy way to do it is just print it out on scrap paper, and either using the rulers alongside the layout or a DIP socket/chip, figure out if it needs resizing and how much. ( I have one of those handy-dandy "wheels" that allows you to figure out the percentage to shrink/grow something, given a starting size and a target size - you can buy them at copy shops/Staples, etc.)

Yes i use the same procedure to print a pcb image and resizing it. But the gif after resizing becomes distorted and i don't know if press and peel will have good results. I have also used programs like wingif but it prints it as a full page print. Did anybody built it and how he print the pcb?
