I have a large 4 player CP template Im looking to get printed so I can cut my CP out.
Just need a rough 1:1 print. Its just an outline of the panel with buttons.
Could pay with paypal.
Thanks.

Just take it to a copy center like Chance suggested. It's faster, cheaper, and really not that hard.

fedex/Kinkos has printed out one for me more than once.

If you dont have a kinkos nearby, you can send me the artwork and I can quote you a price.

Heck, worst case scenario just export as a PDF and then tile it to a normal printer and piece it together. If it's just a cut/drill pattern, you don't need pretty.

Ya.... i was wondering about this. Ive read microsoft paint actually will tile it.
Ive used the same template to do my artwork so just need to be sure I dont loose scale or anything.

You could also print it in sections that are regular paper size and just assemble them Pretty much any printer should be able to print it out that way.

I thought this was the same as doing tiles?

What is the size of a 1:1 control panel template? What it look like?

I am assuming you will place a plexiglass over the control panel so you may change your art from time to time. Or your art printed on a sticky vinyl...

Had a few minutes so -- Here is a copy of the one you uploaded split into 14 page in a pdf file (cut it into 14 8x10.5 inch pages so you can print actual size to 8.5x11 inch paper with a 1/4 inch border on all sides) - https://www.dropbox.com/s/6t5ga7mied2l1ef/cpo%2014%20PAGES.pdf?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/6t5ga7mied2l1ef/cpo%2014%20PAGES.pdf?dl=0)
So you can print to any printer using any program that can print pdf files. Pages 1 to 4 and 5 to 8 are the main body then page 9 is upper right edge - page 10 just under that then 11 through 14 are bottom row ( So page 9 and 10 should be far right of row 1 and 2 - they were smaller sections so are out of order - wanted to make sure I got them correctly sized and placed)
Would have been 3 rows of 5 pages for 15 pages but page 15 (lower right edge) would be blank !!

Dang I feel bad now.... just seen this and just got home from leaving work and running by staples for a couple 1:1 prints.
I really appreciate it though..... Im sure someone in the future will be able to use this.

No worries - it only takes a couple minutes in PS to add guides and then split it up to new pages and was bored this morning anyway ! Just Glad to hear you got it done and having it assembled already will make it easier than having to line up the 14 pages ! :cheers:
