Hello World, In this video, You will learn how to print Large Artwork with regular A4
Printer & with help of Illustrator!
Here I have a landscape oriented artwork which I want to print in large size.
But my printer supports only A4 Papers!
There is a way to get it done.
The method is one type of Life-Hack; so you don't want to do that in your commercial projects.
You should use this method to print Posters and other designs for your personal use only.
Before we start, temporary hide all the unwanted items.
Go to File >
Print.
Here we can see the thumbnail preview of the final print layout.
From here you can use previously saved setting presets.
Here you can choose the Printer.
I don't have my printer attached so I will select PDF option.
You should still select the PDF option even if you have a printer connected.
Inspect the output PDF and then go for Printing.
here set how many copies you want.
Select the artboard from here.
in case of multiple artboards, Define the Range or a particular number.
Here you set the Paper Size.
I will select 'A4'.
Turn of Auto-Rotate option.
Select "Visible & Printable Layers".
From "Scaling" dropdown options; Select "Tile Full Pages".
If your printer supports Full Bleed Printing then you can select "Tile Imageable Areas".
But mine doesn't support so I'll choose "Tile Full Pages".
You can see the artwork has divided into four A4 size Pages.
This placement alignment depends on the artwork and your preference.
Corner placement will save some scissor work.
I will just keep it centered.
Please "Do Not Drag the Mouse" inside thumbnail area.
that will change the placement settings.
This Overlap feature is much useful for this printing method.
It gives us extra space at the Edges of the adjacent pages.
So we can easily stick them together without losing the artwork.
Let me show you what that is:
Suppose these are four a4 size pages.
If you set overlap to 0 then you will have to join the printed pages Edge to Edge.
but setting overlap value larger than 0 will give us some extra space with "repeated printing".
I will show you an example at the end.
So I will set it to 0.25 inch.
Change the orientation as you want.
But also notice that it will require more or fewer pages depending on placement.
Define the Tile Range if you want to print only Page 2 & 3. or Page no 2 to 4.
You can scale up or down the artwork.
The unit is Percentage.
When you click on "Done", It won't start Printing or Export PDF.
It only saves the setting in the document.
so you can change it later.
Before printing, check the other options related to printing.
To Print or export the PDF, Click on "Print" button.
It will ask to choose a folder location for the PDF.
Here I've opened the exported PDF into Adobe Reader's Side by Side view.
Letter 'e' & 'a' from page one and two indicate that overlapping has done well as we set.
Now join them and hang it on your wall.
That was it for the day.
