Acme plate maker

[Austin T]

I have seen it mentioned a lot on the forum and in mags but how do I get them into scale?

[Jim B]

I scale them using Paint. Worked ok.

Paint here too, get a measurement from a scale plate and reduce the Acme plate until it measures the same. Takes a couple of trys to get right but they don't take that much ink.

I make them in Acme and then import the image into Corel Draw to manipulate the size and keep duplicating until I fill a sheet. I print them on Kodak photo paper.

MS Word......Insert as a JPG file (picture) , then resize as needed. You will not lose any detail this way...I will make 5 or 6 at once on glossy 4x6 photo paper, cut out and paste with white glue

I make them on paint, then copy them over to Word and resize there. That way you don't lose any detail like you would just using paint.

Yeah thats the ticket.

Set up your printer window to print it at whatever percentage is necessary based on the size of your original. If your original art is 1" wide and you want a plate that's 1/4 inch wide, print it out at 25%. The end.
