MATLAB: How to center the table

tabletable help

if true
  A = [10 2 -1;-3 -6 2;1 1 5];
b = [27;-61.5;-21.5];
X = zeros(length(b),1);
error = ones(length(b), 1)*100;
iteration = 0;
fprintf('Iteration\t   x1\t\t   x2\t\t    x3\t\tError1\t Error2\t\tError3\t\tMax. error\n')
 while max(error) > 5
    iteration = iteration + 1;
    Z = X;
    for i = 1:length(b)
        j = 1:length(b);
        Xnow = X;
        Xnow(i) = 0;
        X(i) = (b(i) - sum(A(i,j)*Xnow))/A(i,i);
    end
    error = abs((X - Z)./X)*100;
    fprintf(' %4.0f\t\t%4.5f\t\t%4.5f\t\t%8.5f\t%4.2f%%\t %4.2f%%\t\t%4.2f%%\t      %4.2f%%\n', iteration, X(1), X(2), X(3), error(1), error(2), error(3), max(error))
end
end
The code produces the table attached.
How can I straighten the values under Max. error and Error3?

Don't use \t, use fixed-width column of the desired width including the spacing desired and include the flag character ' ' in the field to cause right justification in the field.
>> vals=[100.333 40.1 5.23];
>> fprintf('% 12.2f%%\n',vals)
    100.33%


     40.10%
      5.23%
