Poster printing software..
-
I would like to make a few posters (mostly text) that would be printed on multiple 8 1/2 x 11 pages. Anyone know of a good free tool that does this. I have seen one that acts like a printer and then splits the image up, but I would rather have better resolution than taking a small page and blowing it up. Any one work with something like this before?

I used to make banners in Illustrator. Far from free. You might be able to make banners in Word as well but not free either. You are going to need something that uses vectors instead of raster to do the scaling. http://www.ehow.com/how_4793532_banner-microsoft-word.html[^]

I have made a poster on 9 sheets of A4 using Paint Shop Pro 9 (with a 420Meg background image) and splitting it for print. Worked ok, but I couldn't recommend it for anything other than the occasional home job. Slow is not the word!

If you have MS Office, it may have included Publisher. I just checked (never had a use for it) to see that it does contain templates for banners, some of which may be suitable for posters. It may also handle splitting the image into sheets for you, though I haven't checked that. When I do banners, I use the HP DesignJet printer at work; you'd be surprised at what you can make Windows Picture and Fax Viewer do. My record is a 22' x 24" banner of the Colorado River, printed from a panorama of 14 separate photos. :)
