Resizing

[Newgouger]

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

there are many free programs out there, look for (search on) tile print

OR

you are welcome to send it to me and I can return a Tiled PDF that you can print from the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Thanks for replying Bob . Mr er looks cool is there a way to resize the tiles by the inch instead of By the page? or is there any other good programs out there that guys here have had success with ?

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.
