Getting correct image size from Eagle PCB

Posted on October 7, 2023 by admin

So, having issues getting the correct print size from Eagle PCB on printer.  These steps seem to work for me

  • Create the board in Eagle
  • Turn off all layers except those wanted, ie Top, Pads, Vias
  • File -> Export -> Image
    • Resolution: 600
    • Select Monochrome
    • Give a file name
    • Click OK
  • Open file in Gimp
    • Image -> Crop to Content
    • If need to invert image, ie Top mask overlay (Flip Horizontally & Flip vertically), Colors -> Invert
  • Save modified image
  • Print
    • Page Setup tab
      • Ensure scale is 100%
    • Image Settings tab
      • Draw Crop marks (if needed)
    • Color Tab
      • Monochrome
    • Advanced
      • Print Scaling: None
      • Print Optimization: Graphics
    • Press Print
