This is an interesting exercise in laser printer tolerances. Print
the ruler on more than one printe and see whether the grids really overlap.
Then check against a standard metal ruler. You might be surprised
to find that they're all somewhat different, depending on the technology
used in the printer to move the laser across the page!
