Default How to scale fin patterns when I print

Wanting to build a few classics from scratch using the instructions from JimZ website. I printed a few at work. Looking at the plans and the scale of the fins, it looks like the fins are smaller than I expected.
For example Aston Mark, Kit K-2. I printed on a typical 8.5X11 piece of paper, using “fit picture to frame” print option. The fin pattern on page one looks super small. I then printed again without selecting the “fit picture to frame” print options. I needed to select 8.5X14 paper to get it to fit. Yes, the fins printed larger, but it still seems smaller that I would expect.
I know this must be a DA question that has been answered, but before I start to cut balsa I would like to know how other folks scale their fins when the print plans from JimZ.

Thanks!
