3 ways to print an image on multiple pages

Ғылым және технология

Sometimes, you just need to Print Big. Historically, this was done with Microsoft's Paint application. But recently, they noted that Paint will be getting an update. If recent Microsoft 'innovations' are any indication, they'll remove this terribly useful feature. What are we supposed to do then?! It turns out you already have 2 other methods to turn a photo into a giant multi-page poster. You just don't know it yet!

    Cat 8 is generally not intended for general office/home cabling. Some Cat 8 cables even have different connectors. Personally, I'd go with Cat6 or 7 since all of those will do up to 10Gbps anyway, and should be cheaper.

    I still have a question, what if I want a 30x30 image on multiple pages how do I know im getting that size of image?

  • @ScottiesTech

    @ScottiesTech

    Жыл бұрын

    You'd have to calculate it based on your paper size. So, if you want a 30" x 30" image, you'd do: Letter = 8.5" x 11" There will be some margin depending on the size/shape of the time, so you'd minimum 3.52 pages (30" / 8.5" = 3.529 pages across). Thus, try a 4 page x 4 page print. It's kind of tedious because different printers sometimes and different software does weird things when you print on multiple pages. There's a bit of trial and error involved, unfortunately.

    In that case, you want to get a bit fancy. I use Paint.net (free), and then create a new image. It asks you for Width/Height in pixels, and resolution in pixels/inch. OR, below that it asks for print size (width/height in inches). I can enter the print size in inches, and then change the Resolution to something higher than 96 pixels/inch. The higher the resolution, the larger the actual image in pixels, and the purtier the printout will be. Isn't this fun??

    Not anymore... It's ridiculous. You can buy a Canon color laser for 350 bucks. EACH of the 4 toner cartridges costs $189. 3rd-party toners are way cheaper, but the printer complains they aren't genuine and refuses to tell you how much toner is remaining. Plus, they often 'leak' toner inside the printer, resulting in colored lines on every printout. Inkjets aren't much better since they eat ink like crazy.
