The copy should be accurate enough for this purpose. If you're worried, try photocopying a 6x6" square ruler first, then measuring to see if it reduced accurately in both directions.
Quilt math warning, though: If you change 2.5" strips to 2" strips, your finished size goes from 2" to 1.5", which is a 25% reduction (not 20%).
