Papercraft Doll Print Sizing Help

So I want to make a few papercraft dolls  and I got the links from here: http://cold-sandra.blogspot.com/
But the problem is the pixiv images are too big to print out normally on my printer. Can someone suggest a size the works for a normal printer and will not mess up the dolls.

Hrm... have you tried adjusting the page setup?

If you open up the templates in Paint, under file there'll be something saying print setup. Click that, and under scaling, choose Fit to: change it to 1 by 1, and you should get them on 1 page. Hopefully this helps? ?_?;;

There's a problem with Tamara's method though. If you do that, many other patterns (Russia, Denmark, Sweden etc.) who do not have the EXACT same dimensions will turn out smaller or larger than your other dolls. The only solution is to print all of them full size, even if it takes more than one page. You can do this by opening them in word, but DO NOT pull the sides around, not even the diagonal. Just move the whole image around, and paste as many copies as you need to arrange all the pieces.

Make sense?
