Printing patterns?

[Tpommier]

I have been trying to print a pattern from the pattern library. The pattern is Eric Clapton , by Fish in the people category. When I try to print I j K eel getting a mostly blank page. The only thing that prints is the 2014 date. Is there a trick to printing these I don’t know about? Any help greatly appreciated.

Are you saving it to your computer first? I don't think there is a direct print button on the site. On my PC with windows 10 using google chrome browser down near the bottom of the picture is a button says "image Tools" click that and then download. Find your download and print from there..

I did download and save to hard drive. Tried to print from there, but got the blank page.

I use Windows 10 edge.  Downloaded png and printed okay but there some missing as the size is 12.5 by 12.5.  You could crop or reduce with an editor.

I also put in a PDF so you could use acrobat to reduce the size or use poster feature to put on multiple pages.

You didn't mention what you use to look at and print the pattern. Check the type file which is name at the end of the file like .pdf or .png. or .svg. Your software should handle the file. Also it can be the pattern is larger then the printer which and mess with some printers. Just suggestions that may already be covered, but hopefully help. RJF

When I download it and save on my desktop, I right click it and select print. That opens my Brother laser print utility and then I make all my choices and hit print. It then prints. I can also do it from Irfanview.

Welcome to you Tpommier. This is truly the BEST forum on the internet. And for scroll sawing, it can't be beat. You might want to add your first name to your signature so we know what to call you.
