You need to tell us a lot more, like which OS, exactly how you saved
or printed, etc.

My guess though is that you copied from device to device.  Don't,
use plot directly on the device you wanted.  Copying plots does not
recalculate boxes for changed point sizes, for example.

If you really need to do this you will need to play with the pointsize on
the receiving device.
