How to print and cut/fold your zine!

After downloading your Zine PDF, open it up and click print. You’ll get a normal printer dialogue screen, something like the above screen. You want to scroll down to the position and size section and uncheck the box next to “scale to fit media” and make sure the scale says 100% (this isn’t required, but I tried to format it so it’d work best printed at full size on a sheet of 8.5x11in paper).

Once the scale is set, click print! It’ll probably warn you that some of the print is going to be cut off, don’t worry, it shouldn’t be. Just click “Proceed”.

And voila! Your zine should print just right! If for some reason it does cut things off when you print at 100% scale, you can always re-click the “Scale to fit media” box and try again.

Now, just follow the little video tutorial below to fold and assemble the zine and you’ve got yourself a cute little finished zine! (pssst: you can also use this zine folding tutorial with a blank sheet of paper to make your own zines from scratch!)
