Issues when printing an overlay

I have sectioned a model & then offset part of the geometry to create a tolerance band. I want to print this onto tracing paper to use on an optical comparator to use as an 'overlay'. My comparator uses 10:1 magnification so I print the drawing at 10:1. All lines look to intersect perfectly but when I look at the print preview some of the lines are offset & this is exactly as it prints. the geometry mirrors about the centreline yet the laft hand side always looks worse.

Has anybody got any ideas where I am going wrong?

Thanks,

 

Gordon.

@LordHFYV3 I suspct since your content are all separate single objects sort of pushed together, instead of a single objects, whatever your screenshot is from is trying to resolve that separation, it must have created or found a gap.

Not sure there is anything to fix in AutoCAD: perhaps if they where JOIN-ed together as one element the issue might go away? At least for the ARC object types (they become a SPLINE here).
