Hello,

Does anyone know of a way to print out a full size photo? This would be where you would print out sections and tape togeather to get a height of 6 feet.

Unsure if Photoshop will do it but there may be other programs or plugins that might. I need to do this for some Christmas decorating we are doing at work.

Thanks for your help

Hi RJ,

 Have you thought about printing from a role of paper instead of individual sheets most photo papers offer rolls as an option. Your printer might not accept them but if it does that would be my first choice. Hope this helps.

Best,

The quality will of course depend on the quality of your images. When I used to do a lot of trade show work I dealt with this place

http://www.bigposters.com

They are on Long Island USA. Depending n the medium you wish to print on, remember that such a project can be quite costly.

Notes on Bigposters - they actually answer their phones if you call there, and they are small enough to keep on top of their jobs yet large enough for quick turnaround. Have been using them since about 1998. At that time, they even cut me a small price break for a charity project which was appreciated by the organization.

I don't know of a simple way to do it in PS (of course you can do slices - but that's not simple, IMO).

If you have Illustrator you could 'place' the full size image into a new illustrator document of the same size and then select 'print' and  specify your output page size (perhaps set the paper size to custom size at 1 inch smaller on both width and lengh than the actual output paper size to accomodate for the margin most printers want) and select "tile imageable areas", in the print 'setup' menu.  If it is a really big image I would opt to first print it to PDF, so you can have a look at what you will get and then just print the multipage PDF file if all looks well.

Tiling is often one of the advanced printing options of printer software too, so you could also take a look for that.

I have an Epson 9600 for sale at the studio right now that would do the trick. Wink
