Printing large images on multiple pages? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Is there any easy way to print an image that is larger than 8.5x11 across multiple pages? I'm mainly doing solid lines (for woodworking plans/patterns) so I'm not that concerned with resolution...

its not terribly helpful if you don't have one, but HP printer drivers support tiling, which does exactly that, others may too , poke around in the printer options

the other way i've done it was to load it into photoshop, work out the grid size for the size i wanted per page then do a select on each grid and print it, its slow and tedious on big images, but it works.

come to think of it i have some software that i wrote for splitting an image into a NxN tileset for sprites for video game coding, i could alter that. quarkXpress does i know.

try poster,its simplistic
