Instructions
Step 1
To print images of large formats - from A2 to A0, plotters are used - large-format printing devices. They are quite expensive, so they are almost never used for personal use. But if you want to make a beautiful poster on a single piece of large-format paper, you can order it from the organization that provides such services. Usually, large-format plotters are installed in design, architectural workshops, printing houses. Many advertising firms also carry out orders for printing large format images and diagrams. Here you can choose paper of suitable quality, since its density can vary.
Step 2
If the integrity of the sheet of paper on which the poster will be printed is not critical for you, then you can use a regular A4 printer to make it. In this case, the image will have to be glued. Of course, you need special software for this. In well-known graphic and vector editors: Photoshop, CorelDrow, Adobe Illustrator, in the print settings, it is possible to set such print parameters in which the image will be divided into rectangular fragments of the appropriate size and printed. You can even set the size of the splicing margins yourself.
Step 3
But not all users have the opportunity to use such expensive and "bulky" software. On the Internet you can find free special programs, such as ProPoster. With its help, you can print an image of any size on A4 sheets, up to 10 meters in length and width. The program can be useful not only for printing a poster, with its help you can print a draft of a drawing, a diagram. The program supports all popular graphic formats, allows you to copy tables and graphs from Excel and Word.
