Printing Jabbros stuff from a .png file - Size?
« Thread Started on Jun 1, 2010, 1:59pm »

I've been printing the One Monk stuff (Absolutely awesome. I cant tell you how excited I got when I found this website). Its a PDF file so all I have to do is set it to A4 and then make sure it prints actual size. But how do I print the Jabbro single figures (such as a Heroquest barbarian) from a .png file to make sure they are at the right scale? (I believe the One Monk ones are 30mm )

An A4 sheet is 2480 x 3500 pixels at 300 dpi.

A 30mm scale figure is 350 pixels from feet to the eyes.

I think that was the start of one of my GCSE maths questions all those years ago

I think what I will do is import them import them into Pageplus, play around with them and them export them as a PDF and compare them to the One Monk ones. Good old trial and error!

Edit : Hey man I appreciate the speedy reply.

Nabokov, they were designed to work at 300 dpi if you download the full size image. If you can wait for me to get everything organized, I'll put them together on a PDF and publish them somewhere later this month. That might save you some trouble.

That would be super duper Jabbro. You truly are a man amongst men!

Sorry, Nabokov. I thought you would have seen them in the HOARD postings when Jim updated everything. They are available here:

Just look for HOARDS 81-83.

Ah most excellent. I was just this very moment going through the Hoard stuff madly downloading it all. Sweet as a nut mate! Again, just to say how much I appreciate your effort in making this things available to gamers.
