Print Instructions

To ensure accurate measurements, it is critical that the calibration card prints at its actual size. Follow these steps carefully:

Step 1: Open Print Settings

After downloading the PDF, open it and press Ctrl+P (Windows) or Cmd+P (Mac) to open the print dialog.

Step 2: Set Scale to 100% (Actual Size)

This is the most important step. Look for the scaling option and set it to:

100% or "Actual Size"
NOT "Fit to Page"

Step 3: Choose Landscape Orientation

Select landscape (horizontal) orientation for the best fit on standard paper sizes.

Step 4: Verify the Size

After printing, measure the card with a ruler. It should be exactly 85.6mm wide and 53.98mm tall (standard credit card dimensions). If not, check your print settings and try again.

Pro Tips

  • Print on cardstock or thick paper for durability - it will last longer with repeated use.
  • Consider laminating the card to protect it from moisture and wear.
  • Print multiple copies and keep one in your wallet, one in your bathroom, and one with your medical supplies.
  • Compare your printed card to a real credit card to verify the size is correct.
