Because, for reasons I have never understood, the Printout Style
Environment in the Core.nb baseline stylesheet has a global
Magnification->0.8 setting. (note that you cannot edit this
stylesheet).
It always has puzzled me as to these Printout settings....
To get around this create a private style sheet for your notebook and
in it put in a cell and go to Cell>ShowExpression and edit the cell to
be the following (and then go to Cell>HideExpression:
Cell[StyleData[All, "Printout"],
PageWidth->PaperWidth,
CellLabelMargins->{{2, Inherited}, {Inherited, Inherited}},
ShowAutoStyles->False,
ShowSyntaxStyles->False,
AutoStyleOptions->{"HighlightMisspelledWords"->False},
ScriptMinSize->5,
MenuPosition->1500,
PrivateFontOptions->{"FontType"->"Outline"},
Magnification->1]
However note that this only changes this for those cellstyles that
inherit the setting from the top level (Text style is an example).
However if the cellstyle (e.g., Input) has its own explicit setting
in the stylesheet then that will override this and you will need to
create a version in the private stylesheet for that.
