Questions, answered.

How do I print a butterfly stencil at real size?

Choose a width in centimeters and print at 100% / Actual size. Disable fit-to-page and check the optional 10 cm Test page on ordinary paper.

Which thermal printer settings work for a butterfly stencil?

Start with 203 dpi and Standard 3 dots. Match Letter, A4 or an 80 mm roll; rolls have 76 mm printable width.

Should I mirror my butterfly stencil?

Mirror is off by default. Enable it only if your transfer method requires it, and confirm orientation with your artist.

What if my butterfly stencil lines are too thin?

Try Standard or Bold, or enlarge the design. Red highlights identify fragile lines and tiny dots; inspect the final print.

Can I take this butterfly stencil to a tattoo artist?

Yes, take it as a reference. Your artist may redraw the design; free example exports carry a small watermark.
