All my templates are at 300 dpi. If that helps at all.

i figured out a way to get the size right of the picks templates. What you do is u copy the templates into word, set your window at 90%. This will be the same size as a piece of paper if u compare it. Than if it had a measered line or a ruler, put hte ruler up against the screen and measure it and adjust the window until it is of the right dimensions, hope this helps!

Doesnt that depend on the size of your screen and the size of your desktop on that screen?
A ruler next to a template is a must, that way it can be printed out until the ruler is the same as a real ruler next to the print out,

no it shouldnt matter about your screen size shrub. ive tested movst of the templates out already. Also for Romstar's new template, just put the old template in adn take the ruler portion out of it and put that along with the new one and it shoudl work jsut fine and size up correctly. if u want me to send you the actually template already done jsut pm me.

Well that leads me back to my original worry that for example say your screen is a 100 inch one, 90% size is still goign to give you a pick that will need two hands to use,
Alternitively if you are viewing them on your mobile phone the pick would be the right size for a borrower,

Some of the images appear to be too large. Is the print resolution set so they will print out at the correct size?
Anyone have vector based images?

Printed off romstars template. Ran up to the grocery store and made a photocopy of it since I don't have a laserjet.. used the dremel tool and a sanding bit to quickly strip the paint off my hacksaw blades.. and realized I don't own an iron. Ugh

I've got no idea how you guys are able to make a good pick with just a bench grinder. The bits I got for my dremel are the wrong size. I tried with just the grinder and there's no way it's going to happen.

I do just fine, but you'd have to have a light touch. I just use files for the really fine details.
