Printing instructions

The checkerboard should be printed at scale, such that the printed size is:

• A page of 600 x 800 mm,

• The black and white squares are 10 cm each,

• The white border is 5 cm,

• The larger black square is 15 x 15 cm.

The checkerboard should be printed on:

• A rigid board, so that it will not bend when used,

• Matte paper, such that reflections from the camera are minimized.
