Pattern Sizing

[Kragax]

I have a pattern that I need to resize. The book says print at 170%, ha, my printer says no. What software would you use to resize this and have it print out over a couple pages?

I used to have access to a great copy machine, then I retired. Suggestions?

We have a great copy shop nearby that can make a copy too large to saw.  Cost is less than the ink for our own printer.  They use a heavy paper.

Do you have something like an Office Max, Staples, etc.?  Try your yellow pages.  I keep a folder of different tings to take over and save a trip.

I use Photoshop Elements.  Before I scan into Photoshop, I draw a line down the center of the pattern.  The scan the pattern, crop half the pattern, and resize for printing.  Do the same for the other half.

Open the image in Paint (yes, that old program).

use the Resize button to enlarge it, and then -

Go to: File - Print - Page Setup, and under "Scaling" check the bottom box for "fit to" and set that to 2x2 or whatever layout it takes to get the # of pages you need to fit it on.
