I have two inkscape drawings, each have two 360 degree protractor wheels on them; exact same size. I am attempting to print drawing 1, turn the paper (it's doublesided photo paper) and then print drawing 2, and get the prints to align properly. Purpose is so that I do not have to print singlesided, paste the wheels together & then laminate. The project calls for printing all 4 wheels (2 ea from each inkscape drawing) back-to-back so that only two wheels are necessary for laminating.
I have tried moving the wheels individually (on drawing 1 only so that drawing 2 is the base) by x & y pixels, but so far haven't found the proper combination to get them to align exactly with the backside of drawing 2. I'm running out of ink & paper with each attempt.
Drawing 1:
wheel 1 x 120 y 560 px
wheel 2 x 250 y 150 px
Drawing 2:
wheel 1 x 240 y 570 px
wheel 2 x 140 y 130
Note the above are just samples and are not the closest alignment(s) when printed. That is just what I have on the currently opened drawings at this time.
I can of course move each drawings wheels individually to position. But in order to test I need to print each on each side in color. So, I wonder if there is some magical x/y number/method I can use instead of trial & error (mostly error). Printed paper is US Letter (8.5x11").
