Extended range is where tab genuinely beats notation
On a six-string guitar a written note has a manageable number of plausible fingerings. Add a low seventh string and the same pitch may be available in five places, several of them unplayable in the context of the phrase around them. Tablature resolves that by specifying the string, which is a large part of why extended-range players write almost exclusively in tab and argue about it less than everyone else does.
Seven lines get cramped quickly
An extra line means an extra string to fit in the same vertical space, and fret numbers on a seven-string part frequently run into two digits because the music tends to move up the neck. The 7 mm spacing here is chosen so a 14 does not touch the lines above and below. If you are transcribing something that lives high on the neck, widen it further before you print.
Write the tuning at the top
Seven-string tuning is not standardized in the way six-string is. B standard is common, drop A is common, and plenty of players use something else entirely. A tab sheet without the tuning written on it is ambiguous to anyone but its author, and often to its author a year later. Two seconds at the top of the page saves that.
Printing it accurately
This only measures correctly if your printer doesn't rescale the page. In the print dialog set Scale: 100%, not "Fit to page" or "Shrink oversized pages". If you're not sure it worked, print the calibration page, measure the ruler on it with a real ruler, and it will tell you exactly what your printer is doing to the page.
