Sometimes there are situations when you need to print large photo formats that cannot be printed on a regular printer in standard mode. You can set up printing so that the photo is printed piece by piece.
It is necessary
- - Printer;
- - paper.
Instructions
Step 1
Run the program to print the image in parts. Adobe Photoshop is ideal for quiet purposes, however, not everyone has it. Any program that allows you to print part of an image will do. Open the file you want to print. Go to print settings by going to the File menu and choosing Print with preview. Set the paper size by clicking on the Page Setup button - there you can also set up the image margins.
Step 2
You can print on both plain paper and photo paper. Also, do not forget that a lot depends on the type of printer. There are printers that are capable of printing large formats, while the rest are only capable of printing A4 paper. However, the prices for plotters are very high, so it is not worth purchasing such a device.
Step 3
Adjust the scale of the image in the Scale item. It is indicated as a percentage. Uncheck Center Image so that you can start printing from the corner of the picture. Specify the height and width of the piece of printout or set the margin from the edge in the Position area. Press the Print button to select the printer and print parameters of the printer itself - print quality, paper type, color settings, etc. You can return to the previous window by pressing the Cancel button.
Step 4
Print each piece of the image this way. Be prepared that the printout will result with a small error - due to the discrepancy between the virtual paper parameters in the computer and the real physical ones. Cut the pieces neatly and glue together. If you are looking for professional quality photographs, contact specialized centers. As a rule, there is a lot of such information on the Internet.
