Multi-page printout with InkScape

[Larry A. Blakely]

Can anyone tell me how to print out a larger wordart that needs 2 pages to print the full image?  I printed 1/2 of the image and then moved it over to print the 2nd half so I could paste the two together.  It worked ok but wondered if the program allowed 2 page printing with index marks??

Lorenzo, You might find a tutorial on here I think!

I'm sure Travis has covered it, Bob 

P.S. Amazing Kevin could tell you!

Hmmm Kevin, are you talking to yourself again? lol

I don't usually print out of inkscape, I'll resize the page to fit the picture (in inkscape) then save it as a pdf. Open the pdf, select 'file' - 'print'. In the print window pop-up under the 'page size and handling' section I select 'poster'. you can set the overlap gap and show cut marks.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Mike. Hadn't tried a PDF save before. Makes sense now.

Thanks Travis.  I knew you could give me the answer.    I guess I've made enuf banners that I understood the idea.  Nice to see we were on the same wavelength.  Just hadn't thought of the crosshairs.  Thanks again for the informative videos.
