I have been using TurboPrint's GraphicsPublisher program for the first time in a while on my Classic 'miggy to print A2 posters made up of A4 printouts. I am encountering a problem whereby I am not getting full coverage of the image even though a 3 x 3 A4 grid (9 pages total) should be enough! It prints the central section ok but then there is a gap between the end of the central sheets and the edge sheets. I have then been switching to a 2 x 3 grid to print the side sections which then gives me the missing areas but results in a massive overlap and wasted ink.

Have I forgotten something obvious? Should I switch to portrait rather than landscape even though the image has been designed for landscape? It doesn't seem to make any difference but maybe a 4 x 3 A4 grid in portrait would do the job?

I don't remember encountering this problem before so maybe I was using my 030 machine rather than this 060 RTG enabled A4000T. Any ideas? I'm using OS3.9 with BB 1 & 2 if that matters.

...hmmmm

I think I erroneously set the paper size to A2! The paper size remains as A4 (landscape or portrait) and you adjust the paper grid to match what size you want the poster to be.

Rough maths would indicate that a 3 x 2 grid with the A4 constituent parts in portrait should do it maybe with a 2.0 cm overlap for glueing.

That would equal 57.02 x 54.86 cm in dimensions compared to 56.4 x 42.0 cm standard size for A2. I can therefore just trim off the top and bottom.

Flip I am rusty! Sorry to bother you all.
