It's been posted here a couple times before. It's a great idea if you need a hood in a pinch, but I generally like to have a plastic hood for protection.

The hood patterns on that site are disigned t be printed on A2, A3 and A4 sized paper. In other words, they are Metric... If you use them, you will have to make sure that the paper proportions are correct to make sure the hood will fit on your lens.

I agree that a dedicated plastic hood is a better bet...

You can still print them on North American paper sizes, just select A2, A3, A4 instead of the other sizes, and just USE whichever paper you have. No need to worry about resizing or dimensions.
