- Who is the Metric & Imperial poster for?
- Metric & Imperial belongs to the Kitchen section rather than to a school year, because food is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning measures can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Metric & Imperial poster?
- Round sensibly. Kitchen scales are not laboratory instruments. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Metric & Imperial belongs on the wall where that food work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Metric & Imperial?
- Baking at Altitude, Brining and Coffee Ratios sit alongside Metric & Imperial in the Kitchen section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Baking at AltitudeBriningCoffee Ratios
- Is the Metric & Imperial poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Metric & Imperial downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Kitchen section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Metric & Imperial poster print at?
- Metric & Imperial is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Metric & Imperial loses nothing.Printing guide
