Default Resizing

Hi Guys I have a piece of wood about 3 ft by 2 ft and a picture thats 12" by 8". My printer uses A4 sheets.
My question is is there a program that i can use that will let me divide and enlarge the pattern and print it using multiple A4 sheets
Many thanks Steve

I work as a Graphic Artist so I have a lot of tools that most people would not want to pay for. Illustrator, Coral Draw, Photoshop, InDesign, whatever is the right tool for the job.

I tend to go to Adobe Illustrator, size everything the way I want, then tile print if necessary. I know this is not much help. You can get older copies of Corel Draw pretty reasonable on e-bay. If you want something like photoshop, GIMP is reportedly a pretty good program. I have no experience with it so am not sure it will tile, but then most software like that will. It is free, try it out. I am sure it will resize whatever your needs are. There is just a slight learning curve. If you need help, feel free to ask.
