This right from the beginning, with a couple of tweaks before a LibreOffice set up.

Not this image particularly but sometime you might need to temporarily straighten for a true horizontal measurement.
Deduct margins before slicing the image.
Save some ink by tracing the edges.
I am not using the Windows Gimp print, it is notoriously flaky.
Thanks so much for this Rich, following that video was a dream. I've got it now that once the png image is in LibreOffice and I've selected original size, in the properties section it says Margin - Normal 1.90cm, this setting when printed gave me 96mm on the ruler, when measuring 100mm on the image.
If I set the Margin to Narrow, I get 98/99mm which is pretty close.
Is there a way to manipulate the pixel numbers to correct this? Or would you put it down to my printer still not printing 100% true to scale? (I did try a no margin print and that still added margins albeit very slim)
I'm a lot closer to the correct size anyway with your help, really do appreciate it. I will do a full printout on Monday and check it against the actual frame to see how it fairs.
Patrick.
