    FAQ

    How do I choose between 4/5/10 squares per inch?

    If you're unsure, start with 5×5. 4×4 is coarser, 10×10 is finer. Choose based on your task and readability.

    How can I verify the print size?

    Turn on the 50 mm calibration box, print, and check it measures 50 mm with a ruler. If it's off, set printer scaling back to 100%.

    How do I make scans lighter?

    Lower the line opacity or use the scan-friendly preset.
