Nova chuck jaw chart

Printing this is a waste of time if you have only an letter size printer as the text becomes really hard to read even at 1200dpi. On screen it does fine as you can zoom in to read.

Since I wanted a paper copy to have in the shop I did this:
ScreenHunter 07.jpg
ScreenHunter 07.jpg (304.93 KiB) Viewed 10716 times
ScreenHunter 08.jpg
ScreenHunter 08.jpg (318.14 KiB) Viewed 10716 times
Then printed out of Irfanview with "Best Fit To Page". Still not perfect but at least I can read it. Still best on the computer screen if you can.

Modern photo copiers can also print and scan documents. :)

Save as a .pdf file and put it on a USB drive, take it somewhere that has photo copiers (library, copy center, etc), you can print it out on 11x17" paper.

With Windows, you can copy each image and paste it into the old "Paint" app (not Windows 10 "Paint 3D"). You may have to search for it from the start menu. Paint allows you to span images across multiple sheets. Set the image size to a visible ratio (e.g., 150%), then click on the "Fit to:" box, which should read "2 pages by 2 pages" or whatever.

I know this thread is 5 years old but as a new turner this info is a huge help.. I have been frustrated trying to find this very info.
You would think Nova would publish contract/ expand capacities in every chuck ad

John_001 thanks for the heads up for windows 10 expanding the printing as well. Very helpful for us older folks :)
