Escutcheon File Download

 The above files contain escutcheon drawings and are available for download. They are available as either a zip file containing a bitmap (.bmp) file or as a .gif file. They can be modified with any drawing tool that uses bitmaps or gifs, for instance Paint or Paint Shop Pro.

Printing .gif files

   When printing from a .gif file, the scale will need to be adjusted in order to match the image size to that of the box. This can be achieved using scaling in the printer software or additional software (see below). The .gif format does not support size or dpi parameters and it is probably better to use the zipped .bmp file.

Printing .bmp files

   The escutcheons are drawn with 300 pixels per inch so that they can be printed at 300 dpi and therefore should be of photographic quality. The .bmp files carry the information of dpi (dots per inch) and size, so there should be no scaling required. For printers that scale the file automatically but will not allow re-scaling to the correct size, there is software available that solves this problem. An example can be found at http://www.irfanview.com/main_download_engl.htm and this has a function for directly printing at the files original dpi.
