Something like Photoshop, Gimp, or Paint.net should work, since they allow you to adjust DPI and page distribution. Alternatively, you can reconstruct the CP by using the measurements it gives. Then, you can piece together the papers like leapinlew shows. --- End quote --- Agreed, although the only program you'll need is Microsoft Paint, which comes with windows. It automatically tiles images onto multiple sheets when printing. --- End quote --- I wasn't going to recommend paint though, as I'm not sure what DPI it runs at, and therefore can't accurately stretch the image. If someone knows, then go for it. Otherwise, Gimp and Paint.net are both freeware. |

could also try rasterbator (google it) - seems to be promising for VERY large printouts. |

Thanks for the input I'll try out some of the freeware, got to refill my ink cart first though :laugh: |
