Printing large posters/projects - 6/16/2010 4:19:28 AM    kennjohn   Posts: 2 Joined: 10/3/2008 Status: offline With previous versions of Print Shop we frequently used the feature to print to several pages to make large posters. How do I print to a larger size. For instance 36" x 48". I have searched and searched and cannot find the options to make this happen. Post #: 1

When you go to print, your printer will use as many sheets as necessary to print the whole thing. (in reply to kennjohn) Post #: 2

OK, I am coming up against the same problem except when I do a banner project. So the good news is, start with a banner project, then change the paper size. When you have completed your design, click the Print icon and choose Print Preview. A Paper Size Mismatch dialog box opens, allowing you to select "Print using as many sheets of paper as necessary." Click OK then if the preview looks good, click the Print icon in the Print Preview window. (in reply to kennjohn) Post #: 4

Is my only option to return the product? (in reply to kennjohn) Post #: 5

RE: Printing large posters/projects - 7/2/2010 10:40:38 AM    ellengard Posts: 3253 Joined: 10/2/2006 Status: offline I just thought of a work-around. Design your project in standard letter size and save it as a PDF. Print the PDF from Adobe Reader, but select to print it scaled to the size of paper you are using. Use legal size project if the proportions are closer to the desired print size. < Message edited by ellengard -- 7/2/2010 10:44:50 AM > (in reply to rdbuch1231) Post #: 7

By starting with a blank banner project I was able to print out a custom size of 24"x30" using multiple sheets of 8.5 paper. Many thanks. (in reply to ellengard) Post #: 8

Getting your verification that this is a workable solution will help others needing poster size printing. < Message edited by lindarobin -- 7/18/2010 1:37:53 PM > (in reply to Walter62140) Post #: 9
