    Default Scaled Printing

    A long time ago I was able to take a one page document and print it on four pages, essentially scaling it 2x in both directions. I have completely forgotten how I did that and I can't seem to find the configuration in DP11 to do that again. A little memory assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Well there is not automatic way to do this. But here is how I would do it. Divide the image into four parts and put each part on a separate page. Print all four pages then assemble the four parts into a single image.

    Many moons ago CC Artworks could do this easily but I don't believe it was ever carried across to Xara software.

    One can design at the desired size, export to PDF and use Adobe Reader or most all other PDF readers to print a tiled version. Usually one would also use overlap and include the marks to make aligning easier.

    Some printer drivers can tile and image across multiple pages.
