If a pattern was reduced to 71% for printing it means that it was reduced from A3 to A4 (or A4 to A5). To get it back to the full size you need to enlarge it by 141% - A4 to A3 (or A5 to A4)
These are standard figures for enlargement based on the fact that with A sizes of paper the width of a sheet is the square root of its length, and those percentages halve or double the area. 0.71 x 0.71 = 0.5041 ∼ 0.5 1.41 x 1.41 = 1.9881 ∼ 2 Brenda On 28 Sep 2013, at 07:57, The Lacebee wrote: > I have just heard back from a colleague in Germany who has confirmed that > this translates as 'The pattern was reduced to 71%'.
