spilt the graphic up into to A4 halves, also check your printer settings, the printer driver may be able to tile the image, do you have Corel draw? that will do it no probs.
As far as I know you cant tile from Photoshop.
Personally James, I’d go out and find a commercial printer who can handle it, here in Ireland there are a few and they’re reasonably priced. It all depends on the image, but you can’t really print an A3 image on two sheets of A4, this is not a tech response, it’s just a matter of style. Two sheets, no matter how well matched and no matter how well glued or taped together cannot lok as good as a professionally printed single page. But if you do want to ‘collage’ them Thee Dark Overlord is right, your printer driver should be able to handle it… mine does and it’s a low end machine, only good for proofs really.
If you are using photoshop 7 you can position the page in the print preview dialogue. Go into file, then print preview. In the dialogue box in the first section it says position, this box is greyed out until you unclick the center image box. If you have your document set up as A3 landscape what you have to do is quite simple, to print the left hand side of the document type Top: 0, Left: 0. To print the right hand side of the document type top:0 Left:210. (You will have your printer output 2 portait A4 pages)
For A3 Portrait, for the top half type Top:0 Left:0, for the bottom half type Top:210 Left: 0 (You will have your printer output 2 landscape A4 pages)
hope this makes sense (you might have to reduce the size to 95% so you don’t miss a bit of your image)

Never thought of doing that, cheers Marian 😉
Hi, thanks guys. You really helped me. Don’t know what I would have done, if I couldnt print that. I need it for my school graphics course.
Good luck with that James.
