Printing patterns

[scrollerpete]

Having problem printing Bob's patterns they are a PNG type file and it seems that they are hard to fit on a 8.5x11 paper.

Any help will be appreciate.

Use a program like InkScape. Set your page to 8.5 x 11, import the .png file and adjust it to size you want. Then print.

Will give it a shot, thanks

I am looking for a program that will print JPG and PDF files for patterns larger than 8.5 x 11 inches on multiple pages with cut lines so that I can later tape them together.  Will Inkscape do that

Frank, PosteRazor will do that and it is a free download.

You can load the file in Inkscape then save as "name".pdf. Open the "name".pdf in Adobe Acrobat reader ( free program ) then select print. In the options select "poster" and it will print the file in it's original size with cut marks for joining the pages together. I do this a lot. Granted this is the readers digest version of how, but should give you a great start.

THANKS!  It was the Poster option in the Adobe Acrobat Reader that I needed and had forgotten about.  It works like a charm (and even handles A4 size paper).

Not familiar at all with Inkscape, don't really understand how this work.

The patterns are from Bobscroll so he might be able to provide the answer

I just printed one on my printer and selected the "Shrink to Fit" option and it did.
