How do I print a rather large image? -

I have a large photograph (family tree image) that I need to print, which will take several sheets of paper. When I try to print it, it always tries to scale or shrink the image. What do I do?

It is doing this because it is a single image amp; not a document. You can use something as simple as paint, increase the image size, then cut and paste it into many smaller images and print those. It will always try to reduce a single image to a single sheet. The other option is to print it in a program (like infranview which is free) that will print it true size (as many sheets as needed) and not reduce it.

You have two options - either set the image to quot;Fit to Printerquot; or - if you want to print it to actual size, you will need to send it to a commercial printer to get printed so that they can print it on a a bigger A3 or AO printer. How much will the 2nd option cost? I don t know, ring a print shop and find out.

Depending on your printer you might be able to print as a poster which will divide the image over four pages with or without crop marks and then you need to join them together
