Change the 600 to match the resolution of your printer.

thank you for helping me.
i try
1- gerber file and then inverting it.
2- ps-inverted.
3- image inverted
4-pdf inverted
but all not in same scale size !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there are an error in scale.
and when i print it by silk screen solder mask i loss alot of money.
Is there any particular reason why you need to invert the PCB image? And how are you producing the mask from the file?
If you're using a printer driver, then you need to make sure that this isn't scaling the output (such as having a "fit to page" option selected).
I regularly use the PDF export option, and import it into a program which does PDF reading, annotate it with my name, design name, logo and so forth, and then print it using a normal inkjet printer. But then I spent a lot of time making sure that the scaling wasn't a factor (however, I've never needed to invert the image)
thank you Jason Tribbeck
i use invert pcb solder mask for silkscreen printing and it very important
and any other pcb desgine programe have inverting layout. but eagle not . why !!!!!!!!!!!!!1
So you make the solder mask/silk screen yourself?
Is it a photographic process (i.e. you need to provide it with a negative)? If so, how are you producing the photographic material? Is it printed out somehow?
(I'm just trying to gauge why you're having problems with scaling, and where those problems can lie).

Ali,
There's no need for that, what do you plan to accomplish other than
getting your message ignored? Jason is trying to help you out and I've
replied to your e-mail request with a feasible solution.
