Gotta be careful though if you're printing templates. not all printers are perfectly 1:1 scale. I ran into this problem printing PCB masks on my old printer.
Just measure when you're done and make sure the real thing matches the numbers.
You can find formulas for it on the internet as well. Just don't use an iterative formula. every fret should be calculated from the nut, not the previous fret. I wrote a very short perl script to calculate it.
for ($i=1;$i<25;$i++){
$position=($ARGV[0]-($ARGV[0]/(2**($i/12)))+$ARGV[1]);
print "Fret#$i: $position\n";
}%

Hey, who put that there? (it's in mm btw. 889mm == 35")
Does this mean I'll be out of tune?
