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!

you also have to turn off auto adjust on printer which is usually default on, because otherwise every page will have different tones.

Generally, there should always be a white border since your printer/driver will add margins to each page.

I'm not sure you can do that since the image would be split differently depending on whether you pick portrait or landscape mode.

How can you do this to make it bigger than one page but also specify the size of the image in real measurements, such as print a 12x12 inch photo?
Thanks so much! Use to be able to do this with Word. Not sure what happened, but you saved the day with excel.🎉

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
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.
After printing from Paint app there is some margin or gap left between all pages....that mis match the photo

You probably have to dive into printer properties and check margins and such. There's usually something there that'll screw it up!

I want to print my image off the same exact size i made it in inches, or pixels in editor....not guessed with pages. Can not print 7.25 by 22 inch wide.😔
@ScottiesTech

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??
Do you know why my printer still print with border?

See here: www.adobe.com/acrobat/pdf-reader.html It's not 'Acrobat' you're looking for, but 'Acrobat Reader'. They made it rather difficult to find on their web site, which is not very nice.

Are there any printers that don't rip you off with ink?
@ScottiesTech

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.
