Try a different browser. I discovered that if I print from Firefox each page was different. Someone (bless them) suggested trying to print from Explorer. It worked. If I want to print out a web page, I must go through Explorer.

Due to the different screen resolutions between the Mac (100dpi) and PC (72dpi) platform, Mac users will need to set the scaling in the page setup dialogue box to 94% in order to use the templates. Otherwise, they will print too large. ..and thanks go to Krystal Hosmer for this info and apple picture :o)
Dorothy sends this PRINTING FROM A MAC INFO: I have discovered the BEST way to print templates the right size. In OS X (maybe earlier
versions too, I'm not sure) one of the Print options you have is to save the file as PDF. If I do that, then print from the PDF, the templates print the right size, without having to figure out percentages to shrink the templates.

I too have a mac. The first one to print was a NIGHTMARE. I promised myself with the second one, I would only try twice. On the very first try it was correct. I don't know why it printed correctly. I made a few copies of the pattern so I wouldn't have to go to the website. I printed it out in safari. My mac is an older computer 10.3 I will not print pattern after pattern. It was a waste of paper and ink. I try twice and that's it. Sorry quilters cache.
