check paper against part.

laser printers have gotten a LOT better since the early ones, but they
are still very inaccurate. If you can get .050" accuracy over the whole
sheet of paper, I'd be amazed. I'd NEVER try to do precision work this
way. print a document twice, once with mirror printing on, and hold the
two up to a light to see how well they align.

I printed some CD labels a while back that the foreground image was
not printing. But the circle of the CD outline did - about .010 wide.

Four passes on a cheap Lexmark X2550 - Four paper reloads on the same page.

Absolutely beautiful registration.

Perfectly round with no widening of the line anywhere.


But I'm not mirroring anything.

Why would I want to???
