Photoshop Question

[USSEnterprise]

Trying to print my marquee. How do you make it print the whole length on multiple pieces of paper as opposed to clipping it to fit on one piece of paper? I'm using Photoshop 7. The marquee is 26 in long by 7 in tall. Admin, if this is in the wrong forum, move it, I just want to get an answer soon, and since this is the most visited forum, I posted it here. Sorry if I'm doing wrong.

can't answer that...but i will say try taking it to a printers.  I actually had my marquee printed at a blueprint shop where they print maps and stuff?  They would print any size colour graphic for $1.50/sq. ft. on glossy paper as opposed to $10 sq.ft. at zebra graphics!  Yeah that saved some money... course with my marquee i had to go zebra to do the backlit material (which is much nicer than a paper marquee if you plan to use a back light).

Aren't there also websites thatb specialize in printimg MAME marquees. I just wanted it to print out because I wanted to see a sample of what it might look like.

you'll probably have better luck asking this in the Artwork forum as the real Photoshop Gurus hang out there.  But, they'll probably also eventually see it here.

you should be able to select 'tiling' in your print dialogue, set your document to the size of hte marquee and print at 100% then click tiling. should work fine.

In the printer setup, you have to set a custom paper size to match your marquee.  (Not all printers will allow custom paper sizes)

A agree with stevodevo take your photoshop graphic to a professional graphics shop.  It not cost that much.

I did this before.  Just make sure that your canvas size is set to the actual size of the marquee and make sure that any print scaling is turned off.  you can do a print preview to be sure (<ctrl>+<shift>+p I think).

Honestly, though, it'd probably save you time and grief to have it printed on one sheet of paper at Kinkos.  Black and white is really cheap, but I'm not sure about color.

Oh no. I don't plan on making this my marquee. I just want to get an idea of what it will look like backlit.
