Printing a large poster

How do I set Pages to print a large poster over several sheets of 8.5"X11"paper to form a composite that can be taped together? Thank you

You can't in Pages. What you can do is creating a larger paper size, the size you want for the poster, in the File > Page Setup > Paper size > Manage Custom Sizes
Create your poster and save it. Then Print to PDF.
Get the application (free) Tiler or Paster Razor which can split the PDF when printing on you home printer.

Printing a large poster in pages

I would like to take a pages doc and print to poster size utilizing 8.5" x 11" paper, that I could tape together to post on an easel. Is it possible?

Thank you, thank you for the help from Monique, an Apple Education contact, for the answer to this problem.
To print a large poster.
1. Save your Pages file as a PDF.
2. Open file in a program that will open PDF files and let you convert them to JPEG. I used GIMP.
3. Use the program PoseRazor. This will let you drop the JPEG file in, and allows you to print the poster in sections, and then paste together.
Hope this helps.

Tile Printing / Tiling Large Poster

I did not see this as a feature in the print module lr2 where you can tile a large image to print in smaller pieces then cut and tape together a large poster.

Exporting An iPhoto To Make A LARGE Poster Print

After a bit of work on my photo in Iphoto, I want to get it printed as a poster 30 inches wide by 20 inches tall.
I have read through heaps of FAQs about pix and DPI ... being an old newspaper & magazine man I am fully conversant with Dots Per Inch, but that has little relevance today.
What is the 'best / most efficient' way to export the photo so I can take it to a professional print shop and achieve a pin-sharp poster that looks like it's been taken by an expert?
Specific settings ( Jpeg / TIF ) (Custom ????? px ) would be appreciated.

The easiest method would just to use the Apple online photo service. No exporting required... just select the pict, choose the 20x30 size, and the picture is uploaded.
As for best quality, as already stated, if your original image is a JPG, then all you can do is send the highest rez of that jpg. If you will be doing more posters in the future, you can set your camera to take those picts in raw and then import that raw into iPhoto.
An important point here is that a poster will not be viewed (by the human eye) at close range like a photo, so the dpi can be lower than a normal photo, and it will look just fine from 5ft away.
Again, the painless way to handle this is just to send the highest rez image you have to Apple/Kodak via the built in service in iPhoto. Your poster arrives at your door in a week.

The best way to print a small poster?

I am a hobby user (Illy CS3) and don't have access to a printer to print anything larger than DIN A4 and I need to make a small poster. I've made a collage as a gift consisting of photos of friends with their well-wishes in speech bubbles. I was thinking of exporting it as a .jpg file and uploading it to an online photo service to have it printed. If I make the artboard the size of the finished poster (e.g. 50 cm x 75 cm) will this work ok? If so, do you have any tips on the settings I should use when making the .jpg file? Or should I do something else altogether?
I would appreciate any advice you have to offer.
Thanks
Updated: the collage was done in CS4 on my daughter's computer, but whether CS3 or CS4 probably doesn't make any difference.

A large size photo print will be expensive. Better to use a quick copy centre like Kinkos. Call digital print shops in your area and find out how large then can print. For not much more than a couple of bucks you should easily find 11×17 or 12×18. Even larger shouldn't set you back as much as ten bucks.
Whatever size you decide on, set up your document to that size and scale all artwork. The finished, scaled resolution of any imported images should be 200 pixels per inch or better for best results. Use File > Save a Copy to save a PDF as Press Quality. Turn off Include Illustrator Editing Capability.

Print too large Deskjet 3510

Lately whenever I print anything it is printing too large - margins are off page. I have done the align printer and cannot find anything in settings of the printer to set this to where it prints the correct size - it is not set to landscape and is set to portrait so I do not understand why it is printing like landscape. Does anyone know how to fix this problem.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum. Most of the time, the size of the font -- the margins, the scale -- and the "whole general page" that you are printing is handled in the application you are using at the time you are setting up the print job. In most browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer), document editors (Word, Libre), and PDF Readers (Adobe Reader and Foxit), this "setup" is handled a program or subroutine called Print Preview. You (that is, the print job) can get into trouble when the Page Scale does not match the paper -- perhaps the margins are not (and should be) set "Fit to Page". The font sizes can be too tiny -- or too large -- for similar reasons, although it can become somewhat more complicated than that. It is also true that some documents and Web Pages are better printed in Landscape mode than in Portrait -- and it is not always clear by glancing at the Page which is best. You might take a look at the following and see if the explanations and examples can help you sort what is going on in your situation: Manage Print Output with Print Preview When you see a Post that helps you,Inspires you, provides fresh insight,Or teaches you something new,Click the "Thumbs Up" on that Post.

How do you change the page format to print a larger area?

Hi there, another new to mac and new to numbers guy.
I'm trying to find the windows equivalent to change page format.
I want to reduce the blank border surrounding my table and print a larger area. How do you reduce the blank border that prevents you from printing up to the paper edge?
cheers

Page margns in Numbers are set in the Layout Inspector.
Open the Inspector and click the Layout button.
Edit the four margin settings as you wish. Reduce the (page) header and footer settings to zero if you don't want to include running headers or footers on your pages.
Note that margins will be limited by the capabilities/settings of your printer. Printing to the edges of the paper usually requires a choice to be made in the Print dialogue as well as for the document itself.
Regards,
Barry

Using Aperture, I printed a large hardcover book. Upon delivery, I found a gross error in wording on the cover. Is there a way to get the cover only reprinted?

Using Aperture, I printed a large hardcover book. Upon delivery, there was a spelling error on the cover of the books. Is it possible to get just the cover of the books reprinted correctly?

No. If Aperture works similar to iPhoto as far a creating PDFs of the book you can create a pdf of the book and using it find a printer like Kinkos that could print a new cover. The PDF file that gets created by Control-clicking the background in the book mode will create the correct type of pdf file for this:
Click to view full size
In iPhoto the PDF that gets created when you try to print the book and select PDF ➙ Save as PDF creates the wrong format for what you want. If you have trouble creating that PDF file ask over in the Aperture forum.

Why does my artwork print slightly larger than actual size? - MacOS 10.9.2

I have an issue which I have no answer. Every time I print an artwork for product mockup, say a 3x5 card, it prints slightly larger than a 3x5 card. I have to manually scale my artwork down to 98.5 in the print dialog to get as close as possible to the actual size. Its not related to a specific printer. I have an HP printer and a Canon printer and the issue exists exactly the same between the two. I'm running Illustrator 17.1 on an iMac running MacOS 10.9.2. Can you please help make this easier for me?

Wayne,
Are you using PostScript printer drivers (or at least PostScript emulation)? Non PostScript drivers may behave a bit like gremlins.
What happens if you Save As or Print to PDF and then print from that using the actual size/no adaptation to paper size?

OS X printing too large

I have a MBP with 10.6 that is printing images to large. By printing too large, I mean that the image of the page is being blown up too big - text is way too large and elements of the page are being cut off. This happens especially with web pages. None of my other computers (Mac and PC) have this problem. Any ideas?

How do i create a collage to print as a poster

I want to create a collage to print as a poster of an album of say 30 photos.
How can i do this?

As Larry said 3rd party software is what you need. One of the best and easiest to use I've found is Pages. Just create a custom page the size of your poster, drag photos from the iPhoto window into the Pages window, resize as desired and drag to where you want it.
Another app, OmniGraffle, is one that I used to create this 96 photo poster:
It's somewhat expensive but the demo version will let you work with up to 10 photos on a page.
Otherwise go to MacUpdate.com and search for "collage" to get a list of potential candidates.

Problem Printing to Large Format Printers From SGD

I am having a problem printing to large format printers when using the PDF printing option for SGD. The SDG Universal PDF Viewer recognizes the print format that I specify but on the client device side the pdf that is produced is always Letter size. If a larger format is speciied the client side pdf displays a small portion of it - almost as if it were clipped at the Letter size. Has anyone experienced this. Is it an SGD problem per se or is it an issue with the Ghostscript configuration and if so is ther a way I can change the config?
I am running 4.6.2 in an RHEL5 environment. The application server I am primarily working with is Windows Server 2008. The printers I have tried to print larger formats to are HP CLJ 2800 PS (Tabloid size), HP Designjet Z6100 (E size), and HP DesignJet 4020ps(E size). In all cases the plot appears to have been clipped into a Letter size format on the client device side.
Thanks,

You may have encountered a limitation with the GARO driver, especially if it is connected to the USB port of the Express. We have an iPF8100 but it is connected directly to our network via Ethernet so I've never tested the printer via USB. But if the driver is anything like the consumer inkjet drivers, there is often issues with the driver determining the printer model on the end of the USB and this stops the printer queue creation.
Have you tried connecting the printer via Ethernet to the Express and then seeing if you can add the printer queue? You will have to set an IP address in the machine if DHCP is not enabled.

I cannot print anything larger than a 4x5" from LR4 to my Epson 3880

No matter what I do I cannot print pictures larger than a 4x5" image from LR4 to my Epson 3880.
I have doublechecked all of my settings in the page and print sections. I have even watched various internet training on printing from LR4 including Matt Kloskowski in Kelby Training....all to no avail.
I have absolutely no problem with printing in PS CS6.

The problem continues to be exporting a photo from IPHOTO to PE 9 organizer
Why do this? You're just making life harder. If you want to use iphoto as your image manager, don't use organizer, or vice versa. If you want to use iphoto to organize your photos, set up PSE as your external editor there, or export the photos to the desktop, save the edited photos as new images and reimport them to iphoto. Using both only makes your life harder and creates problems, as you've discovered.

Networked Mini prints everything large

My wife's Mac Mini running 10.5.8 has inexplicably been printing everything large no matter which app she uses as though the sent print job has been scaled--dunno--400%. It didn't used to do that, and I don't know what would have changed since she's been up to date on Software Updates for some time now. Her printer drivers and everything else are the latest versions according to Software Update. Telling an app to scale the page to 25% via Page Setup doesn't affect the print output.
She prints via Bonjour on a wired network through my Mac Pro. I haven't run any updates in some time since everything on my Mac has been working fine. I can print normally from my Mac Pro which, of course, is cabled directly via USB.
Any thoughts about how to approach this?

Well, gaining information on uninstalling a printer driver seems nearly impossible, oddly enough, but I went to the Canon driver site, DL'd what they had, did the install without any formal uninstall, but that didn't help.
However, I found this thread - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1741969 - and I did what Kappy suggested in the first paragraph of his response. I don't understand what that does because it doesn't delete the driver as near as I can tell, it just resets the print/fax list so you have to re-add the printer to the list manually. In any case, that worked for me. Thanks much for your response... it led me in the right direction!
