Before you print
Set the printer to 100% scale or actual size. After printing, check the calibration line with a ruler. If the line is off by even 1 mm, the size recommendation may be wrong.
How to use a paper strip sizer
Cut the strip carefully, wrap it around the finger, and pull until snug but not tight. The paper should pass over the knuckle without tearing or compressing the finger.
How to use printed ring circles
Place an existing ring over the circles and match the inside edge of the ring to the circle. Do not match the outside edge or the metal thickness.
Common printable sizer mistakes
The most common mistakes are printer scaling, cutting inside the line, using stretchy paper, and measuring cold or swollen fingers. Confirm with the ring size calculator if possible.
When a phone app is easier
If you cannot print accurately, use the free Ring Sizer app to measure on your iPhone screen and compare with the chart afterward.
